Migrants trying to find shelter along the Texas-Mexico border and officials are bracing for what is expected to be a life-endangering Arctic blast starting Thursday and continuing through the Christmas weekend.
The cold snap could prove deadly for migrants crossing the Rio Grande in large groups. Temperatures in the border region are expected to remain below freezing beginning Thursday when overnight lows will reach 19 degrees Fahrenheit with expected wind chill temperatures in the single digits in several border cities.This presents a challenge for federal, state, and local officials as they try to figure out what to do with the thousands of migrants entering the Lone Star State every day.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott called upon President Joe Biden to take immediate action and deploy federal assets to address the dire border crisis as the dangerous polar vortex moves into Texas. If the weather forecast holds true, this will be one of the coldest Christmas holidays in Texas since 1983. The cold temperatures will likely exacerbate conditions in places where migrants must wait hours outdoors for strained Border Patrol transportation resources to become available. In El Paso, nearly two thousand migrants remain queued along the Rio Grande waiting for limited detention space in Border Patrol processing facilities to become available due to overcrowding.
