BROWNSVILLE, Texas (ValleyCentral) — The city of Brownsville held a special meeting on Thursday to discuss the extension of a disaster declaration. The declaration was issued after a surge of migrants came through the border last week.
“I think it's absolutely absurd that we're even here today debating whether or not to extend our disaster orders. Knowing what we know about the end of Title 42," said resident Deborah Bell.
Amid the end of Title 42, the city continues its efforts to brace for an immigrant influx.
“With the end of Title 42 next week, we don't know exactly what we'll be facing," said Brownsville Mayor Pro Tem Roy De Los Santos. "That's why it's important we continue to take every precaution that we can to make sure our city's ready for whatever comes our way.”
De Los Santos says the extension of the disaster declaration would help with resources if funds run out.
