Dormitories at state-run Expo New Mexico in Albuquerque could eventually provide temporary accommodation to up to 240 people, making it one of the largest migrant shelters in the state, according to state and city authorities. Alongside @MayorKeller and faith-based and community partners, we are going to make existing dorms at this state facility a temporary shelter. It's our duty to step up & assist wherever we can as asylum-seeking migrants continue to move through New Mexico. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) spokeswoman Leticia Zamarripa said her agency would work with El Paso's Annunciation House migrant organization to coordinate transportation of migrants to the Expo New Mexico. US Customs and Border Protection, which runs US Border Patrol, did not respond to a request for comment.
