Juarez City.- Given the arrival of the end of Title 42, and with it a reinforcement in Border Patrol operations due to the possible arrival of more migrants, the Ministry of Public Security (SSPM) will continue “with the protection for migrants,” according to the head of the corporation, César Omar Muñoz Morales.
“We are going to protect, care for and move as far as they want. A shelter or something”, commented the secretary.
However, “whoever commits an offense or offense must be punished,” regardless of whether it is a local, a compatriot or a person from another country, Muñoz Morales said.
For its part, the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Border Patrol revealed that it already has plans to deal with the increase in irregular crossings of migrants once Title 42 ends. , which is a measure to restrict access to the country justified as public health taken up by Donald Trump since 2020.
Anthony Good, head of the federal corporation in El Paso, Texas, told the media that the agency is ready to face a possible contingency, since “it is not the first time that we have experienced high migration flows through the sector, and we continue to planning and, yes, I think we are ready for this job.”
Similarly, the mayor of El Paso, Oscar Leeser, reported that he will issue a full migrant state of emergency as he did in December before the end of the restrictive measure.
Said declaration will be made before May 11 to have the schools and even the Civic Center of the city ready as temporary shelters.
Cruz Pérez Cuéllar, municipal president of Juárez, also pointed out that in view of the imminent arrival of more migrants, they will have to carry out a dissemination campaign to inform the migrant population that there are shelters available for them to remain safe while they wait for their passage to the United States.
