Migrants, including young children, brace to face frigid temperatures on El Paso's streets

El Paso, Texas — Migrants from Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and other Latin American countries stranded in the streets of the U.S. border city of El Paso Thursday prepared to face frigid temperatures that could drop to as low as 21 degrees Friday.

Dozens of migrants were living and sleeping on streets outside El Paso's Greyhound bus station, a local church and other areas of the city hours before the temperatures in West Texas were set to plummet amid an approaching winter storm.

On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) warned migrants not to cross the U.S.-Mexico border, saying the "severe weather will force temperatures to dangerously low levels this week."
