Thousands of migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border are facing uncertainty after the abrupt suspension of asylum claims by former President Donald Trump’s administration. The policy shift has created a humanitarian limbo, with families and individuals scrambling for alternatives in makeshift camps and overcrowded shelters.
‘It feels like a dystopian movie out here,’ one migrant told CGTN’s Alasdair Baverstock, describing the chaos as temperatures soar and resources dwindle. Local NGOs report a surge in requests for food, water, and medical aid, while U.S. border officials enforce stricter entry protocols.
The ripple effects extend beyond politics: Economists warn of strained cross-border trade networks, while activists highlight the human cost of delayed reunifications. Meanwhile, social media buzzes with clips of volunteers delivering supplies—a rare glimmer of hope in a crisis with no clear end.
As debates over immigration reform heat up ahead of U.S. elections, one question lingers: What’s next for those caught in the crossfire?
