Following the suspension of the CBP One application announced by President Donald Trump, migrant families awaiting an appointment are facing an uncertain scenario. According to journalist Carlos Manuel Juárez on 'Aristegui en Vivo', interaction at the Reynosa-Hidalgo bridge has drastically decreased since Monday morning. This has resulted in a significant increase in migrants at the Senda de Vida shelter, which has received more than 120 people in just a few hours.
Families from Venezuela, Haiti, Central America, and other places arrived with the expectation of getting answers to their asylum requests. However, they are now facing uncertainty. Many have expressed their decision to wait for some new alternative from the U.S. government before attempting to cross the border.
Pastor Héctor Silva of the Senda de Vida shelter emphasized the importance of keeping families safe and avoiding the risk of crossing illegally amid the current situation. On the other hand, journalist Carlos Manuel highlighted the adverse weather conditions that migrants are facing, with temperatures nearing zero degrees due to a recent warm wave.
Additionally, the planning by the governor of Tamaulipas to open more than 15,000 spaces for migrants in the region is noteworthy, with the aim of preventing them from falling into the hands of organized crime.
