Eagle Pass, Texas's Mayor Rolando Salinas Jr. has signed an emergency declaration to help cope with a new surge of migrants.
Salinas says the city does not have the resources to support tens of thousands of migrants who just recently crossed the border. After signing the emergency declaration on Tuesday, Mayor Rolando Salinas Jr. said the state of disaster will remain in place for seven days. The declaration activates the city's emergency plan and allows them to seek aid and assistance.
The mayor said he's awaiting official numbers, but according to DPS, some 4,000 migrants have arrived, held under a bridge in Eagles Pass. Thousands more are expected in the coming days. In North Texas, Dallas Responds, already stretched thin on human and financial resources themselves, stands ready to help.“So, to add another set of people, in terms of operations we know how to do it, we got this down. But we will need more human resources and also a lot of food and clothing and basic requirements that people generally need.”
