The leaders of El Paso, Laredo and Brownsville over the weekend issued separate emergency declarations as a public health order is set to expire next week. Title 42, a policy initiated in March 2020 by the Trump administration, comes to an end May 11. The policy allowed federal agents to immediately expel migrants back to Mexico.
“[We need] to make sure that we can stand up and be prepared for May 11 and May 12 to have public shelter, public housing,” he added. “[The migrants] have come in, really, with a false pretense that there will be open borders starting on May 11,” Leeser said. “As the Mayor of a border community, we understand our local immigration challenges are intertwined with our bi-national challenges involving immigration reform. With this in mind, it’s imperative that we protect the City of Laredo’s limited resources while balancing the treatment and services available to incoming immigrants,” he said.
