El Paso mayor declares 'state of emergency' as border city prepares for crossings to skyrocket 'from 2,500 to 4,000, 5,000, maybe 6,000' a day when Trump-era policy expires this week
2022-12-19
  • El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser declared a state of emergency, saying the migrant crisis in the border town was beginning to threaten the safety of residents

  • Leeser said 2,500 migrants are arriving in El Paso daily those numbers are likely to more than double as Trump-era border legislation, Title 42, expires this week

  • Title 42 was enacted in March 2020 to ostensibly control COVID-19 transmission at the border, but has been used to ease border control ever since

  • Last week Denver also declared a state of emergency in preparation for the expiration of Title 42
