El Paso County officials have announced the decision to gradually wind down operations at the county's migrant support services center. This move comes amidst concerns about the uncertainty of support and funding under the new Trump administration.
The county's migrant center, which was opened in October 2022, has provided assistance to over 115,000 migrants seeking asylum in the United States. The center has been instrumental in helping asylum seekers coordinate their travel arrangements after being processed by US immigration authorities and released into the El Paso area.
