Deported Migrants At Mexican Border Town Shelter In Piedras Negras
Migrants are pictured in a shelter in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico, Feb. 15, 2025. Piedras Negras stands at the northeastern edge of Coahuila on the Mexico-United States border, across the Rio Grande River from Eagle Pass in the U.S. state of Texas. Asylum seekers from Latin American countries usually approach here to apply for legitimate entry into the U.S. territory. U.S. President Donald Trump has pledged to carry out the biggest deportation effort in U.S. history. On his first day in office he signed executive orders to suspend refugee admissions for months, require asylum seekers to stay in Mexico as their cases were adjudicated, and roll back humanitarian programs that had granted temporary legal status and work authorization to more than 1.5 million people. Lots of asylum seekers have been stranded at immigrant shelters in Piedras Negras since Trump's executive orders took effect as of Jan. 20. Photo by Li Mengxin/Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM
