Soldiers are currently circling the Mexican river, but the Texas Guard continues to retrace those who cross the razor-wire barrier.
Authorities “invited” the migrants to keep the river and seek refuge from the heat-related illnesses and dehydration, according to a Border Report camera team. Given that the El Paso-Juarez area has had triple-digit heat in the last few days, this is unusual.
However, some workers said they were n’t “invited” to do anything, they were only ordered to leave the valley.
” I told them”, Do n’t send us back. Do n’t be mean. What will you be telling your kids about your today at work? ” said Alexander, a Venezuelan who was among those told to leave”. I do n’t know where they took my cousin. They put him in a bus and left.”
Alexander and his family are currently receiving care in Juarez. They received information on how to apply for U.S. prison online via the CBP One app on Friday, but Alexander is unsure of how they will live in Mexico, despite the length of time it will take to schedule an appointment.
He claimed that his home is fleeing Venezuela’s bribery and poverty and that once they arrive in Juarez, they would be ready to fly to the United States. Otherwise, the Mexican military guards and the barbwire on the U.S. part welcomed him.
” I may tell you the truth: After all the difficulties, the starvation, the pimples on my feet, little surprises me again, “he said.
On the U.S. aspect of the Rio Grande, asylum applicants are being turned up by the Texas Army National Guard in addition to the Mexican inspections.
” They told us we had not bridge. That it was closed, that tomorrow ( Saturday ) at the bridge they will be letting 4, 000 persons go across,” said Lorena, a Brazilian hospital- person whose home attempted to cross near Gate 40 of the border wall in El Paso, Texas.
The man approached us with a gun and instructed us to cross the bridge. We told them ( U. S. ) immigration at the bridge told us to go to the gate.]…. ] One tells us one point, the various anything more.”
Two Colombian women traveling through a distance in the Texas barbwire and entering the United States were immediately surrounded by Texas Department of Public Safety employees on Friday evening.
” Rush! Come back! Go! ” a officer called out.
The home regretfully complied. They were last seen returning to the sprawling Juarez metropolitan area.
Officials in the El Paso Sector encounter 750 workers on average daily between ports of entry, according to the U.S. Border Patrol. Most of those are Latino immigrants, Venezuelans and Guatemalans.
The U.S. Border Patrol uses its Title 8 power to deport people who cross the border illegally between the ports of entry, which results in substantial consequences, including re-entry and a maximum five-year ban, according to the company in a speech to Border Report on Friday.
