Empowering Latino Futures’ partner Universidad Popular has been providing 24-hour emergency assistance to refugees from around the world at the border.
With the ending of Title 42, which meant refugees were blocked from asking for asylum in the United States due to the Covid-19 health crisis, many migrants are confused about their options. Hundreds are stranded at border crossings, unable to use the new online system required to request asylum in the United States.
Some 400 refugees have been camped out in the restricted zone between the two border fences along the Tijuana–San Diego border. They have no food or water, they have been cold at night, and there is only one portable toilet, which nobody is cleaning.
