An Ohio man is among those who made their way to the Texas border city of Del Rio, where thousands of Haitian migrants set up camp near a border bridge, including many seeking asylum.
The administration is facing criticism after an encampment of thousands of migrants under a Texas bridge was cleared.DEL RIO, Texas -- As Haitian migrants stepped off a white U.S. Border Patrol van in the Texas border city of Del Rio after learning they'd be allowed to stay in the country for now, a man in a neon yellow vest stood nearby and quietly surveyed them.
On Tuesday, Dave set out from his hometown of Toledo, Ohio, and made the nearly 1,300-mile drive to Del Rio, where up to 15,000 migrants suddenly crossed in from Mexico this month, most of them Haitian and many seeking asylum. Ruth and her family had spent the past week at the bridge camp and Dave had been communicating with her through WhatsApp. But all communication stopped Thursday around noon, and he said Ruth's sister in Ohio also hadn't heard from her.
Moreau didn't have a plan — just a rental car full of toiletries and supplies he hoped to pass out to any migrants he came across.
