Concerns are growing as the end of Title 42 nears, and impacts are being felt nationally. But how exactly will this affect Houston?
With Title 42 ending soon, there are growing concerns about what it will mean, especially with the growing surge at the border.The policy was put into place in March 2020 as a public health measure to stop the spread of COVID-19. But, now, many worry about what the program ending could mean for already growing crowds of migrant people at our border.
"Over the weekend, we had a steady flow of migrants that ended up being over 7,000 migrants in a span of three days, an average of 2460 a day," Orlando Marrero-Rubio, with the El Paso Sector of U.S. Border Patrol, said."At the point, they are released, they don't even have a charging document. It hasn't been provided to them yet," Houston immigration attorney Rebekah Rodriguez explained.
There are multiple appeals that have already been filed, both from the Biden administration and several states, including Texas.SEE ALSO:"It's a coordination that's done daily. So, to say that we're not going to transfer migrants in a safe manner to Houston, that would be lying because that could happen tomorrow, the day after, or we can not send people to Houston," Marrero-Rubio explained.
