The downtown streets of Brownsville, Texas, are once-again awash with recently released migrants waiting to depart the border city to other parts of the country.
BROWNSVILLE, Texas — The downtown streets of this South Texas border community are once-again awash with recently released migrants waiting to depart the border city to other parts of the country. Breitbart Texas interviewed several dozen migrants on Friday, all from Venezuela, who spoke of the long journey to the United States and the conditions suffered while waiting in Mexico for the end of the Title 42 COVID-19 expulsion authority.
The Venezuelan woman told Breitbart she was able to pay for one night’s stay at a hotel after her release from a Border Patrol holding facility. She feared immediate expulsion to Mexico under the COVID-19 emergency order but instead was released after a short stay in custody. The 29-year-old Daniela says she is headed to Naples, Florida, where she has distant relatives.
Miguel described the months-long journey from the southern border of Mexico and the delay in receiving authorization to travel through Mexico from Mexico’s National Institute of Migration . Miguel told Breitbart Texas he was robbed by law enforcement officers in Mexico City and left with no funds to purchase food or shelter as he and his wife traveled across Mexico to the United States.
Throughout the morning and early afternoon, busloads of migrants driven by Border Patrol agents and contract bus drivers arrived near a migrant charity shelter in the heart of downtown Brownsville. The buses were met by a crew of hospitality volunteers from the shelter who quickly ushered the migrants into the facility. Occasionally, the shelter doors would open as volunteers led the migrants to the nearby La Plaza bus terminal across the street.
