Thousands of undocumented migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. are now stranded in Mexico, caught in a growing humanitarian crisis as border policies tighten. CGTN’s Franc Contreras visited shelters in Ciudad Juárez—a bustling border city across from El Paso, Texas—where families live in limbo, unsure of their next move.
🔍 ‘We left everything behind, but now there’s no way forward,’ said one Honduran mother at a crowded shelter, reflecting the desperation of those hoping to escape violence and poverty. With U.S. deportation efforts intensifying under Trump-era policies, many fear returning home could be deadly.
🤯 Migrants describe overcrowded shelters, scarce resources, and rising tensions. Local NGOs warn of a ‘breaking point’ as Mexico struggles to manage the influx. ‘This isn’t just a border issue—it’s a global human rights challenge,’ said a volunteer.
🌐 The situation highlights broader debates over immigration reform and international responsibility. As politicians clash, migrants wait—dreams on hold, futures uncertain. Will diplomacy offer solutions, or will this limbo become their new normal? Stay tuned for updates.
