In El Paso, Texas, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers released hundreds of migrants Wednesday night at a downtown bus station, bringing the number of people released this week to more than 1,000. Local nonprofits that assist the migrants said this time they were given some advance warning of the drop-offs, unlike over the Christmas holiday when ICE stranded hundreds of people in the cold—including young children—with no warning and no plans for accommodations. Immigration activists say the drop-offs were part of the Trump administration’s deliberate strategy of sowing chaos at the border as a deterrent to asylum seekers. This is Dylan Corbett, director of Hope Border Institute, an El Paso-based charity that assists migrants.

Dylan Corbett: “The majority of them don’t even know that they’re not in the hands of the government. Although we are a community group, the migrants don’t know that, with us, they are not in detention, they are not with CBP or ICE. They don’t know anything. They need information. They need to get informed. Some of them don’t even know they’re in El Paso.”
