The authorities in Mexico's Juarez have decided to convert the Kiki Romero gym, which was repurposed into a migrant shelter in 2019, into a facility to keep young people away from drugs, idleness and crime, as the city has been witnessing a fall in asylum-seekers coming to the border.
The migrant shelter, originally converted in 2019, has accommodated over 30,000 people. However, Mayor Cruz Perez Cuellar confirmed that the shelter will be repurposed to be used by the whole community, and not just migrants.
