President Joe Biden’s executive actions that temporarily halts most asylum claims at the southern border is leaving many immigrant families in limbo, hoping they’ll be eligible to reunite with their loved ones.

This city-run shelter for migrants in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, is next to an international bridge that connects with El Paso, Texas.

According to the president’s proclamation, when unauthorized crossings exceed an average of 2,500 migrants for seven consecutive days restrictions are imposed. This rule heightens the threshold for credible fear screening, that’s when a person makes the case that they fear for their life if they are returned to their home country.

As soon as the family got off the bus in Juarez, in ninety-degree weather the family walked straight to the border to turn themselves in and petition for asylum.Diana said they had waited over a month to get an appointment through the CBP One App and weren’t able to get one.
