SAN DIEGO — A Honduran woman, her four children and 2-year-old grandchild slept on a sidewalk near the San Ysidro Port of Entry on Tuesday night.
The woman, who has already spent about six months in Tijuana, said she'd heard that Title 42, a policy that blocks asylum seekers from reaching U.S. soil and expels many of those who cross anyway, would be ending Wednesday. It would be her chance to finally be able to request asylum in the United States.
But when the day arrived, her face fell as she realized that her wait in limbo was not yet over.
