CIUDAD JUÁREZ, Mexico
Humanitarian response networks in northern Mexico are stretched thin between the growing number of people fleeing violence, poverty, and climate disasters in Central America, the continued expulsion of asylum seekers and migrants who enter the United States irregularly, and the lingering effects of Trump-era migration policies.
Nowhere is this pressure being felt more acutely than in Ciudad Juárez, a Mexican city of around 1.5 million bordering El Paso, Texas.
Many of the more than 20 migrant shelters in the city are already operating beyond the limits set by COVID-19 social distancing requirements. And civil society organisations are struggling to provide aid and additional housing spaces, while support from the Mexican government and international NGOs lags behind the growing needs.

Asbury Park Press
TRENTON - The civil rights lawsuit filed by an Asbury Park Press reporter tackled and arrested while covering a Black Lives Matter protest in Asbury Park last summer can proceed to a potential trial, a federal judge has ruled.
Judge Anne Thompson on Monday denied nearly all of the motions to dismiss Gustavo Martinez Contreras lawsuit against Monmouth County, the municipalities of Asbury Park and Belmar, and the police officers who tackled, arrested and observed his arrest while covering the Asbury Park protest on June 1.
Martinez Contreras lawsuit alleges that Asbury Park police officers William Whitley and Daniel Savastano violated his First Amendment and Fourth Amendment rights during his unlawful arrest, false imprisonment and excessive force, according to the complaint.
