EL PASO, Texas — Here in Segundo Barrio, the city’s historic neighborhood, migrants flock to Sacred Heart Catholic Church with the hope of finding protection, perhaps even salvation.
From their perspective, U.S. immigration policy is murky and in constant flux, and even President Joe Biden’s visit to El Paso on Sunday, on his way to a summit in Mexico, won’t necessarily create greater certainty.
The migrants near the church try to avoid U.S. immigration authorities who in recent days have rounded up migrants, mostly Venezuelans.
