Sacred Heart Church continues to be a sanctuary and meeting place for migrants coming into El Paso, with many of them making make-shift camps on the streets by the church on Tuesday, May 9, 2023 in El Paso.
Border patrol has logged as many as 9,000 crossings daily in recent days, and officials have said they expect that to rise to 10,000 or more a day. The federal government has sent more than $330 million in emergency management funding to communities for shelters and other services, including $38 million heading to San Antonio.
Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted a video Wednesday showing Texas National Guard soldiers and Department of Public Safety troopers physically blocking migrants — including several young children — from entering the U.S. near Brownsville. The video showed troops with razor wire at the top of an embankment and a line of migrants wading in the river.
