Management outreach teams are helping migrants find shelter space at night. but albert and his wife have been sleeping on the street, buried under blankets since monday night. their bus ticket to connecticut isn t good until this weekend. [ speaking non-english ] he said the first night that he was sleeping on the street it was drilsing and cold but he s been dreaming of this moment there was no way he would turn back. and the robles family did move on to their next destination here in the u.s. but a familiar site playing out here this morning, jim and erica. every morning we see migrants who were still on the streets here waking up and they clean up these areas every morning and many of the migrants have told me over last few days it was it is their way of showing the el paso community here they re gratitude for them being welcomed here on the streets as they await their immigration court process. jim and erica.
goodness. and could often last years that, process. ed lavendera, thank you so much. well far from the southern borders, cities in the north, new york are expecting migs to arrive there. tens of thousands have sought asylum in the city. many buses by texas governor greg abbott. polo sandoval joining us live in new york. so the city is preparing for the next wave. what does that preparation look like polo? reporter: the city has learned exactly what it looks like over the last several months to see these asylum-seekers who cross along the southern border. many bused here or coming here on their own but all of them adding strain to the situation here with roughly 100 asylum seekers arrived here this morning. part of that on going trend ever buses coming here to new york city. still two more buses expected later today. and, yes, the flow has greatly reduced compared to where we

Resources as far as food and shelter. really this is a logistical nightmare challenge that the cities in many of these border communities will be facing. they say the best way to avert a total humanitarian breakdown here is to really move people through these border communities as quickly as possible so once they get processed out of border patrol, they re not just sitting in border communities. many of these people are not trying to stay in border communities anyway. they re trying to get to other destinations in the u.s. while they await their immigration court process. what they re trying to do is alleviate that logistical nightmare to get people moving as quickly as possible. that means getting them on buses or flights or other kinds of transportation to get them out of these border communities, and that would help the backlog of people that will be in these cities. that s really the main challenge that many of these people have, but the clock is ticking. we re two days away. title

Enforcement action first broke by the washington post would look to explicitly focus on those folks who had come from central america, in part out of fear of violence and other types of retaliation in their home countries. that is a potential reason for asylum, but obviously most of those people have not been granted asylum and according to these reports it would target those who have not, that is those who are legally available to be deported under current law. victoria, give us a sense of how many people might get deported. are we talking a few hundred raids across the u.s. or potentially thousands of people being rounded up? so far the numbers that have been given is in the hundreds, also potentially in the low thousands. adding on to what ari said, these are folks who have deportation orders. so individuals who have gone through the immigration court process. so if we think back, it s been about 19 months since the june 2014 surge of unaccompanied minors. in immigration proce
