Key takeaway Supreme Court's ruling Thursday to uphold a previous government immigration policy that had turned back asylum-seekers at U.
Why this matters in The El Paso
The Supreme Court's decision to uphold the government's immigration policy could have significant implications for El Paso , a city that has long been a major point of entry for migrants and asylum-seekers. With the possibility of "metering" resuming at the border, local migrant shelters and advocacy groups may see an increase in demand for their services. Metering, a practice that limits the number of asylum-seekers allowed to enter the US each day, could lead to a buildup of people waiting to cross, putting a strain on local resources. El Paso's community has a history of coming together to support migrants, and it is likely that residents and organizations will be called upon again to provide aid and assistance. The city's ability to respond to the needs of these individuals will be crucial in the coming days and weeks.
