Info just received from local contacts in El Paso: CBP setting up huge facility off Hwy 54. Anyone who asks for asylum or is apprehended in New Mexico will be brought to this facility for processing before being sent to Juarez. Not sure when it will be operational. 1/

Trump administration doing all it can to subject innocent, vulnerable people to as much degradation and suffering as it can. That is the point of collecting asylum seekers arriving New Mexico, warehousing them in El Paso then sending to Juarez to await asylum hearings. 4/

In Juarez, even harder for asylum seekers to get legal assistance, let alone needed food and shelter, than it is when they go to family and friends based in the U.S. 5/

So, ramping up CPB facilities in El Paso to more readily process migrants to Juarez is for most a deprivation of basic justice as well as the creation of physical risk. 6/
