AUSTIN, Texas — The latest symbol of Trump administration immigration enforcement is a group of migrants confined to a chain-link enclosure under a bridge in El Paso, Texas.
Customs and Border Protection officials have said the Border Patrol is holding immigrants in the makeshift cell because they can’t keep up with screening the hundreds of immigrants coming to the border daily and the thousands arriving weekly.
Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan, at a news conference in El Paso on Wednesday, declared that the immigration system's breaking point arrived this week in El Paso.
“CBP is facing an unprecedented humanitarian and border crisis all along our southwest border, and nowhere has that crisis manifested more acutely than here in El Paso,” he said.
There is no doubt the city is seeing more immigrants arrive at the border, most of them families and children. As McAleenan spoke, CBP had some 13,400 people in custody in the sector. Overall, border apprehensions are lower than they have been in previous years, but they are increasing.

The repeated threats to close some ports of entry come amid a surge of Central American migrants and families seeking asylum in the United States.
Immigration officials have said they’ve reached a breaking point. Last month Border Patrol agents estimated they apprehended some 100,000 migrants at the southern border. If true, that would be the highest single month total in more than a decade.
As a response, President Trump slashed $700 million of aid to some Central American countries blaming them for not doing enough to stop the onslaught.
