Since Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20, 2025, the cancellation of CBP One appointments has caused significant distress among migrants, primarily from Venezuela, Cuba, and Honduras. In Ciudad Juarez, families in migration are waiting in shelters or heading to the 'Paso del Norte' border crossing, hoping to cross despite the new restrictions. The Mexican National Guard and U.S. Border Patrol are closely monitoring the area. This tense atmosphere highlights the growing challenges faced by individuals seeking entry into the United States amidst stricter immigration policies.//MORITZALICE_sipa.06000/Credit:Alice MORITZ/SIPA/2501221136
