PHOTO: TEXAS – Asylum seekers detained under El Paso Bridge: March 27 Nick Mirnoff and Bob Moore tweeted photos [5] of a crowd of immigrants being held outside under the Paso El Norte Bridge in El Paso near Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) Commissioner McAleenan’s press conference. The area acted as a parking lot for the nearest CBP agency until it was converted into emergency housing when the normal housing facilities reached capacity. Border Patrol spokesperson Ramiro Cordero stated [6] the wait time was up to two days and 3,369 immigrants were in their custody that morning. By March 31, the immigrants moved to an unknown location as the bridge was cleared. Photo courtesy of Nick Mirnoff.
