With crush of Central American families streaming to the U.S. southern border, the immigration system has been overwhelmed.
EL PASO — Churches in Denver and Dallas are planning to take in hundreds of migrants a week to relieve the strain on southern border communities that are struggling with an influx of Central American families.
A U.S. Border Patrol agent helps migrants out of a van at the Gospel Rescue Mission in Las Cruces, N.M., on April 12. Las Cruces city officials have appealed for donations of food and personal hygiene items to help with the crush of migrants arriving in the city.

The migrants sent to Denver were part of a group of more than 100 people who were released by the Border Patrol to the streets of Las Cruces on Friday because the shelter network in the city of 100,000 people was over capacity. Garcia has asked Immigration and Customs Enforcement to bus migrants to church networks he established in Denver and Dallas, but he said the agency has told him that regulations prohibit transporting migrants more than eight hours. Denver and Dallas are 10 to 12 hours from El Paso by bus.
