Venezuelan Family's Dangerous Journey to US Border and Detention Center Conditions

TL;DR Summary
A Venezuelan family's journey to the US highlights the dangers and challenges faced by asylum seekers fleeing poverty, violence, and political persecution in their countries. Despite new restrictions on asylum, thousands of people continue to migrate to the US. The family found shelter with the Catholic diocese in El Paso after being lost in Panama's Darien Gap, a particularly deadly stretch of their journey. They are now awaiting a summer court date for asylum and a work permit. El Paso shelter leaders are unsure how many people will arrive in the coming weeks due to new immigration rules known as Title 42.
