EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — El Paso County will be winding down migrant services that it offers and is planning to close its Migrant Support Services Center at the end of December, the County announced on Monday, Nov. 25.

The move is largely being driven by uncertainty surrounding the new federal administration led by President-elect Trump that will be taking office in January, the County said in its news release.

Since 2022, the Federal Emergency Management Agency sent the County approximately $29 million in Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) funds to the County to help asylum seekers traveling through the El Paso community, the County said.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Yes, it's expensive, but unless they self-deport, they are going to be harder to round up.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
