Migrant surge overwhelms El Paso: El Paso County Sheriff sounds alarm over Border Patrol overwhelmed due to migrants
September 15th 2022
Migrants are crowding the streets in El Paso.
Nearly 1,000 illegal migrants released and living on the streets of El Paso, Texas, has created a public safety challenge, a local official said.
Processing centers and shelters have reached capacity, causing Border Patrol to release a record number of migrants — mostly from Venezuela.
"From day to day, we don’t know the number of migrants that will be dropped off, and the issues that have surfaced include urinating and defecating in public, littering, tent encampments on sidewalks, and panhandling, " said El Paso Police Department spokesman Sgt. Enrique Carrillo.
Venezuelan migrants are lined up by Customs and Border Patrol agents prior to moving them to a secure area underneath the Paisano overpass in El Paso.
Venezuelan migrants were sat down in rows by U.S. Customs and Border Protection as hundreds were being held in an area underneath the Loop 375 overpass on the embankment of the Rio Grande.

Venezuelan migrants are held underneath the Paisano overpass as they await for processing by Customs and Border Protection. Some migrants awaited for up to seven hours. Some returned to Juárez to purchase water and food.
