The Pan de Vida shelter in Ciudad Juarez, once home to as many as 400 migrants, now stands mostly empty, as a new piece from Border Report reveals.

Other migrant shelters across Juarez are experiencing similar declines as some families have returned to their home countries or moved to cities like Mexico City. Those still in Juarez face dwindling options.
