Border Crisis: El Paso Struggles with Overwhelmed Shelters and Migrant Street Releases

El Paso is experiencing a surge in migrant arrivals, with local shelters operating over capacity and US Customs and Border Protection increasing street releases. The nonprofit Opportunity Center for the Homeless has been over capacity for three weeks, prompting the El Paso Office of Emergency Management to provide shelter in hotels. The lack of resources to reach their destinations is causing migrants to stay longer in El Paso. The region is seeing an average of 1,200 encounters per day at the border, with over 1,100 people being released to the community daily. Southern California, particularly San Diego County, is also facing an influx of migrants, with aid groups working to provide additional resources.
