Escobar: DHS, FEMA and El Paso County officials talking about options to cope with expected post-May 11 surge
EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – El Paso has seen migrant surges before, but there’s no precedent for what local and federal officials expect will happen when Title 42 migrant expulsions end on May 11.
“Obviously, May 11 is going to be a very challenging day and the weeks and months that follow will be incredibly challenging for our community,” U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, said on Thursday.
Title 42 is a public health rule that has allowed border agents to swiftly expel unauthorized migrants coming into the United States since 2020. Nearly 420,000 migrants have been expelled since October on Title 42 grounds along the Southwest border. In El Paso, 26,401 were sent back across the border just in March.
