U.S. Customs and Border Protection intercepted 6,200 immigrants at the southern border on Friday.
The end of the health law approved by former President Donald Trump in March 2020 made immigration authorities fear a massive arrival of immigrants. Local leaders and humanitarian organizations expect more releases of migrants in border cities."Our biggest concern is to keep children from sleeping on the street," says Nicole Reuket, a spokeswoman for Rescue Mission in El Paso, Texas. "We are a shelter for homeless people. We don't know how migration policies work," she says.
