North Texas nonprofits are coming to the aid of El Paso to ease overcrowding from influxes of migrants.
“There was a young man that it was going to cost him $800 to go to Atlanta, but when he got on a bus to Houston, it was $120,” said Samaniego.
Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins says the effort appears to be working in Houston and expects the same in Dallas. “There’s no government action, no taxpayer dollars or governmental centers where the migrants will be staying,” he said.A bigger surge of migrants is expected next Wednesday when a federal judge has ordered Title 42 to be lifted.
The public health policy, implemented during the Trump administration to stop the spread of COVID-19 and continued in the Biden administration, has allowed for the quick expulsion of over 2 million migrants since 2020. “I don’t think it will end next week,” said Dallas immigration attorney Fernando Dubove. “I think the judge is going to rule in favor of following the Administrative Procedures Act and require the Biden administration to hold public hearings on how [lifting Title 42] will affect the border cities and states.”
