Tensions are rising along the U.S.-Mexico border this week as thousands of migrants face uncertainty following abrupt changes to asylum policies under the new Trump administration. 🌍 Families hoping to cross into the U.S. now find themselves stranded in temporary shelters and overcrowded border towns like Tijuana, where resources are stretched thin.
🚨 The policy reversal – which paused asylum applications for those arriving via Mexico – has sparked debates about immigration reform and humanitarian responsibilities. Many migrants fled violence or economic crises in Central America, only to encounter new roadblocks. “We came seeking safety, but now we don’t know what’s next,” one Honduran mother told reporters.
⚖️ While U.S. officials argue the shift prioritizes border security, advocacy groups warn of a growing humanitarian crisis. With temperatures dropping and shelters at capacity, the situation remains fluid. Stay tuned for updates as this story develops.
