EL PASO, Texas (AP) — The U.S. Border Patrol has re-opened its inland checkpoints around El Paso, Texas, after closing them for several months due to staffing shortages.
The re-openings were announced Monday as El Paso grapples with the aftermath of a mass shooting that left more than 22 people dead.
Amid fears that immigrants in the U.S. illegally might not seek help after the shooting, U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced it wouldn't do any enforcement at area hospitals or shelters.
