Washington — Rep. Tony Gonzales, a Republican from Texas whose district includes 800 miles along the U.S.-Mexico border, said Sunday that the situation in neighboring El Paso is "dire" as the city braces for a spike in migrants crossing the border with the upcoming end of the pandemic-era policy known as Title 42.
"It is a dire situation in El Paso," Gonzales said in an interview with "Face the Nation," adding that the city's mayor declared a state of emergency over the increase in migrants trying to claim asylum who are arriving at the southern border. "This is something you do when there's a hurricane, a fire or an earthquake. What is happening is it's a hurricane of migrants, and everyone is impacted."

A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
