Some wore shoes without shoelaces, having arrived on buses after recently being processed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. “We’re going to have a huge increase of people at the Centro de Bienvenida,” Fernandez said. The number of migrants arriving at the center has gone up “almost every week” since July, he said.
