el paso at the moment seems to be — coping? el paso at the moment seems to be coping _ coping?oping very well. i seems to be coping very well. but we have heard from the secretary of state for homeland security with a clear message that even when title 42 restrictions are lifted, new restrictions are lifted, new restrictions will go into place and the border will remain closed. the problem is whenever there is a change to policy at there is a change to policy at the us southern border or, indeed, a rumour of it, there is a huge amount of confusion and a heightened level of anxiety and there are many thousands of people on the mexican side of the border, many of whom have already tried to make their way into the united states and been sent back under title 42 when they have been there for many months, some years and is well was just saying, they came because they are desperate. so we will now have a number of people who will come across the border, they will not be deported immediately, they will go into a system and be processed, for want of a better word, and we'll have interv

that is a normal everyday as for el paso. thousands of people have traditionally, for generations, gone from one city to other on a daily basis. some to go to school, to shop, to go to work, and then go back to the other side. but things are different now. just to the east of where we are are the other two international bridges that connect the united states to mexico, the america's bridge and another bridge that is east from us. as you can see the shot where that quad is, there is on kind of the inferior part of your screen, you'll see there is part of the fencing and the wall that exists there between the two countries. all the way down, you can see -- i don't know if you can see that x there. yeah. look at it right in the middle of your screen, that x? that is in mexico. a place where, benedict xvi when he came to mexico, he gave mass there. in many ways, this is what are two wings of one bird here in el paso. two communities have been so intertwined for generations. i want to bring in to start our coverage, nbc news homel

ed lavandera, cnn, el paso, texas. >> joining me now from el paso, texas, is alicia calledwell. she's a reporter covering immigration for "the wall street journal," and she joins us from el paso as i just said. well, with title 42, alicia, now a thing of the past, you are at the texas side of the border. what have you been seeing these past days? >> i am. you know, the last couple days have been a lot like the last couple of weeks, right? so you've got a lot of people surrendering themselves on the south side of the border. basically they're coming across the rio grande but surrendering themselves to border patrol agents on the south side of the fence. so in many cases, they've had to wait several days, if not longer, for processing. and for some of those folks, of course, midnight struck eastern time last night, and they were still on the border. those folks were still there this morning in many cases. so there's been an ongoing processing of individuals over the last -- well, many, many months and weeks and so on. but in terms of the end of title 42, the last 24 hours, it's so

——in el paso.des of the border here at el paso, and he said it is interesting the messaging to get through because there is a very clear message from the secretary of state for homeland security who said that the border is still closed, but on the other hand, you have republicans like the governor of the state of texas, greg abbott, who said that it is like the border will be open, it is like lifting the title 42 is laying out a welcome mat for illegal immigrants. and they are not getting any of this information firsthand. a lot of it comes by word—of—mouth and rumours and some of them are getting that message and so we had seen a spike in the numbers of people coming across in the days leading up to the lifting of title 42, and that may have been because they thought that they needed to go then. so i think what happens is that people get a very confused message, it may be a clear one come out of washington, dc, but what people here on the ground isn't necessarily that. fiur isn't necessarily that.

our responsibility as leaders here in el paso is to make sure the el paso community and visitors continueterday. i have been there almost every day. we have seen the numbers go down because they realize that somebody -- really, this wasn't a trick, we are working together to give them a pathway to become legal and go through the legal immigration process. >> so you were just -- not comfortable with that, because that is the kind of response we wouldn't see in an area like that around a church, for example. >> yeah, because, you know, the border patrol will not go into the church area. >> right. >> that's -- they feel that's their safe heatwave-. we were able to talk to them, show them the advantages of how doing this would help them and be able get that number that will give them the ability to move forward. that really helped and we will continue to do that. we go in twice a day, clean the streets to make sure our visitors and community does not get infected, don't get sick. we have been very, very proactive and we'll continue to do that. and i think it shows by the numbers last night an

the city of el paso has actually declared a state of emergency.certain state bonds as well as federal funds to mitigate this crisis. the reality is that this crisis is an influx of people. el paso has been the epicentre of these kinds of waves of migration in the past, and we have been to go through them much... list successfully. the fear that has been going through the united states and other parts of the world is that these people bring criminality, these people are here to steal and cause crimes. the reality is different. these people are looking for an opportunity to have access and protection from the united states, and as a result, they are also looking for opportunity. el paso, despite those fears and concerns, has relatively no crime during this time with the exception of a few blips or at least a few instances of crime, but not anything that the united states should in fact be in a more hard—line approach to respond to this crisis. in a more hard-line approach to respond to this crisis.— respond to this crisis. thank ou respond to this c

please stand by for us from el paso, texas. at any moment we are set to hear from the secretary of the department of homeland security, alejandro mayorkas. he obviously has been making the rounds on media and putting out the message to folks that the border is not open even though we're seeing a potential big influx, brianna. >> all right. we'll be waiting for that. should happen any moment here, boris. the white house has drawn its red line. leaders in washington have about three weeks now to come up with a deal to raise the debt ceiling and to avoid a catastrophic u.s. default. and today the president's team has relayed a key condition to house republicans, that the inflax inflation reduction act is off limits. it just so happens speaker mccarthy's plan includes major cuts to that very signature legislation by president biden. cnn's priscilla alvarez is at the white house where so much is happening today, priscilla, as we are awaiting this white house briefing under way already here. tell us more if any progress has been made

contracts to transport folks who are not -- don't want to stay in el paso. to go into the interior of the united states and to major transportation hubs. we don't have enough transportation to get migrants out fast enough, which is leading to the mass congregation on streets and in shelters, because we know those asylum seekers don't want to stay in el paso, texas. and then finally, we are experiencing, unfortunately, crimes against asylum seekers who are sleeping in the streets. we received reports, and residents are, quite frankly, who live on the border, are living in a little bit of fear, not knowing if someone is a good actor or a bad actor or someone just looking for opportunity, but most importantly, that mass sheltering from the federal government is critical, especially with the lifting of title 42, but we're hoping with more steps and support from secretary mayorkas, the congresswoman, and biden administration, we'll get there. >> all right, and sadly, it is too often those that are the most vulnerable that get preyed on by evil people. cassandra h

in the el paso sector, there's over 6,000 people that are in custody. in this particular facility, it's meant to house 1,000 people, it's housing over 3,000. in one of these rooms, it's meant -- the max capacity is 90 people, there was over 400 in here. that's a 450% capacity. in another room meant to house 120 people, there was over 700 people in there. we can't allow not that bad to be the normal. >> right. >> just this week there was a migrant child that died in hhs custody. it's only the second time in history. i'm not looking to point fingers, i'm trying to go we should not allow not that bad to be the normal. >> that was the second death that we know of during the biden administration of a child in custody. there were about six during the trump administration. and it is horrific, i agree with you in terms of children passing away like that. but to the point you're making about overcrowding, this is at the very heart of a legal dispute right now, as you know, in a florida court. a federal judge has blocked the biden administration from releasing mi

so el paso, just across the river from me is our sister city. there are thousands of migrants will return. they had a lot of needs for shelter, needs for medical support, psychological assistance, all the things you'd expect a vulnerable population that was authors forced to wait community. the shelter needs are going to continue. because under the new biden policy, they are going to be deporting people back there. so they will continue to be a need. as we open up the need to access to the united states, it's going to produce more need on the northern side. we're going to have a situation in which there will be need for shelter, for human service, for support on both sides. it's more complicated than it was in the past. >> migrants waiting at the border will be facing harsh weather conditions. the entire state of texas is ushd some level of risk for excessive rain, flash flood ing hail, and damaging winds in the coming hours and days. meteorologist chad myers has more on the forecast. >> a significant flash flooding event now happening in places

matt finn is live for us from el paso. matt, i was reading. the mayor has been giving news conference after news conference where you are. they are inundated at this point. >> yeah, harris, spotlight has been shined on el paso over the past couple years mainly because of so many migrants downtown overwhelming the shelters. we witness a scene that we have witnessed over and over again. hundreds or thousands of tiles along the southern border. more migrants arriving right now at this moment. systematically placed in a single file and put on large white buses and taken away to be processed. notably this morning all the migrants appear to be single adult men. some said they are from guatemala guatemala. cbp is seeing 2,000 migrants per day crossing into the united states here in el paso. so far from where we're standing, at least this morning we aren't seeing a major rush or uptick. which might make sense as perhaps migrants try to make it into the u.s. before title 42 expired last night. the el paso sector has been very active with more than 265,

this is the sharp metal migrants crawl through to enter into el paso.toret, the commander of this mission, said his team has deployed more than 17 miles of it. >> i got it. >> reporter: but as title 42 ends, guard members are doing something different, creating a gap in the border barrier. >> we actually created that gap, not to admit people but to give the migrants the opportunity to go back. >> reporter: storid says guard members will explain to migrants that once title 42 lifts there are consequences to enter illegally. >> we don't want to trap them into that bad decision to cross illegally. we wanted to give them the option to take it back. >> reporter: but some migrants crossing along the nearly 2,000-mile border were not choosing that option. not in el paso. not in yuma, arizona. and not in san ysidro, california. border authorities on the u.s. southern border are encountering about 10,000 migrants per day and border patrol holding facilities are over capacity according to federal officials. as for what will happen when the clock hits 11:59 tonigh

mayor of el paso is joining us.t week you declared a state of emergency as your city saw hundreds of migrants arriving daily and more are still arriving. have you had a chance to speak with any of these migrants newly arrived in your city about why they're there and what they need? >> we've actually gotten into mexico and looked at and assessed the situation. because title 42 will be lifted on thursday. we want to look and see how many are in juarez, how many are planning to come over. we have noticed there's about 10,000 to 12,000 people. they're not in the shelters, right now the second largest shelter. when we talk to them, they're telling us that once they come in and once it's lifted, they'll have political asylum into the united states which is not really what's going on now. once title 42 is lifted, you're still going to have title 8 which title 8 is goes back to 1940. >> explain to our viewers what title 8 is. if these people are coming and given the right to apply for asylum, as long as they enter in the pr

how is the situation now in el paso? what are your people seeing on the ground?> it hasn't changed any from this morning. talking about gate 42, about 1,800 last night, all processed but a couple, 200, 300 processed by early this morning. then i was just down there where ed was talking. i just got back from this. the numbers are way down. monday about 3,000 people there. border patrol with assistance went in, handed out handouts to help them register and get process so they could go into the processing centers and be able to go on to, whether it's shelters, immigration centers, anything like that. the numbers have changed. a week ago, 10 to 12,000 ready to cross. i went into shelters, 20 people in there. and now i went in two days ago to see what to expect. we've been trying to prepare for months now for the unknown. i went over there, i noticed that -- talked to the officials there. 3,000. they told me they have others ready to come across, maybe 5,000. we've been prepared, we've worked for this. we thank all agencies together to be able to have done this in a v

i know and everyone knows these people aren't coming to el paso, texas. they're coming to the united states. and secretary mayorkas and the federal government really have helped us to be able to provide a service, but we all know that the immigration process is broken. and we understand that. and we're hoping, you know, that congress learns to they need to agree to disagree and compromise because there is no end game. in communities like el paso and the southern border we can't continue for infinity. something has to happen because we'll continue to provide a humane process for our asylum seekers. but, again, something has to change it be able to do the job of the federal government. >> mayor, i appreciate your time. thank you. >>> still to come tonight, the former president and the florida governor who might become his chief republican rival for the white house, ron desantis, descends upon iowa tomorrow. the first of the nation's caucuses are just months away. speak about the mood of republican voters in her state, and later my conversation with the fami
