Mexican Shelters Struggle with Migrant Influx Following New US Asylum Rules
Biden administration's asylum restrictions lead to uneven impacts across border shelters, straining resources in some areas.
- Shelters in Sonora state are overwhelmed, turning away migrants due to lack of space.
- Tijuana shelters report minimal change, with few deportees arriving since policy implementation.
- New asylum rules trigger a daily deportation rate of up to 500 migrants from Arizona.
- Mexican authorities are relocating unauthorized individuals further south to manage border congestion.
- Advocates express concern over prolonged shelter stays as migrants await CBP One appointments.
