About 50 migrants arrived at a Dallas church Wednesday morning as local nonprofits scramble to assist private shelters with historic high migration.
From Dallas, they will be helped to book travel to their final destinations as they await court hearings that will likely include asylum pleas.
The migrants, who had already been processed by immigration officials in El Paso, arrived at Oak Lawn United Methodist Church where they were welcomed by volunteers. Nearly all traveled as families by bus and came from Haiti, Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia. One mother carried a 3-month-old.
