El Paso declares state of emergency due to overflowing border facilities and migrant interception.

El Paso, Texas will declare a new state of emergency on Monday as border facilities have reached capacity due to migrants flooding in from Mexico before Title 42 expires on May 11. Officials predict 10,000 to 12,000 migrants will try to seek asylum at the border on May 11, with the volume expected to rise. The declaration will call on additional US government aid to provide shelters for the asylum seekers, as well as security for the whole community. This will be the second time in six months that an emergency has been declared in the beleaguered city, with recent local data showing more than 1,000 people a day are arriving at the border.
