El Paso, December 27 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of Texas, the city of El Paso extended an emergency declaration as temperatures plunged into the teens and shelters reached capacity. The declaration came as hundreds of migrants spent several nights outdoors on the Mexican side of the border despite freezing temperatures.
The migrants were unable to cross to the U.S. to seek asylum after the Supreme Court last week ordered the Biden administration to continue the Trump-era Title 42 policy, which has been used to expel some 2 million people from the border.
