Presidio City Council members learned last week that border authorities may soon be changing their processing policies at the local port of entry.
From Marfa Public Radio:
Officials in the small border city of Presidio are preparing for the possibility of having to care for asylum-seekers in the near future.
That’s because authorities are considering releasing some detained migrants locally, instead of sending them 250 miles west to El Paso — which remains the official procedure at this time.
