US Border Patrol rounded up migrants camped out on streets near a Catholic church in El Paso, Texas on Tuesday, the agency confirmed to The Post.
Discarded belongings following US Border Patrol’s raid on migrants sleeping on the streets of El Paso.A migrant family’s makeshift home of sheets and blankets, with all their possessions piled up next to itAs Border Patrol continued taking migrants into custody Wednesday, church volunteers hurriedly ushered people onto its property and out of the reach from agents, as houses of worship are considered off limits.
A pregnant migrant woman sobbed as she rushed to squeeze into a long, narrow gated area with others who are in the US illegally.“There’s no space left inside the church — it’s filled with women and children, so we’re just standing out here and could be deported at anytime. All we can do is run if they try to get us,” a Venezuelan migrant, who only wanted to be identified as Johnny because he is in the US illegally, told The Post.
A statement from Border Patrol said patrolling the neighborhood is part of its regular enforcement strategy.
