EL PASO: Shelters Overwhelmed, Migrant Violence Hits Outside Bus Station
BOB PRICE13 Dec 2022369
As freezing weather approaches El Paso, a homeless shelter reports it is beyond capacity due to the surge in migrants being released on the city’s streets. Elsewhere in the city, two migrants were attacked and robbed outside a bus station by another migrant illegally present from Mexico.
As thousands of migrants camp out along the Rio Grande in Mexico and along the streets of El Paso, freezing conditions are expected to hit. Five homeless shelters report they are unable to accept new people as they are either at or above capacity, KVIA ABC7 in El Paso reported.
John Martin, deputy director for the Opportunity Center in El Paso told CBS4 news that two of his shelters are already severely over capacity. His organization calls for serving all homeless people regardless of country of origin.
“We’re one of the few shelters that will accept everybody, but even then when we get full, we’re full,” Martin told the local CBS affiliate. “There comes a point where we just have to say no, simply because we just don’t have the physical space to put people. We don’t want to say no.”
