Castro also asked Mayorkas to provide humanitarian parole for families of victims, allowing them to collect the bodies of the deceased and visit survivors. Parole allows individuals unable to enter the U.S. to temporarily enter the country for “urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit,” according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
As of Thursday night, the identities of 52 of the 53 deceased have been “conclusively identified” by the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office. An update on the remaining survivor is expected no later than Monday, according to a news release from the Medical Examiner’s Office. “The tragedy is a symptom of a broken immigration system, and while we continue to work with you and our colleagues in Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform, we hope that you will work tirelessly with us to ensure the protection and security of the survivors and their families,” Castro concluded.
