Visiting Tijuana shelters with @AlOtroLado_Org this week. One shelter receives ~100 tired, disoriented asylum seekers a day; almost all families flown from Texas and expelled under Title 42. More than 400 asylum seekers are crammed inside. @humanrights1st 1/5 
Shelter director said "the first thing I ask them is, do you know what city you're in? Some think they're in California and I have to explain they've been sent back to Mexico. People here are very sad and disillusioned." 2/5
They arrive with nothing but the clothes they're wearing, no shoelaces- CBP took everything. Many haven't eaten or bathed for days. Children arrive sick with cough/fever/vomiting after detention in freezing cold holding cells. Many stories of racist abuse in DHS custody. 3/5
US gov uses Title 42/CDC order to justify crowding asylum seekers into cold holding cells, flying them hundreds of miles, throwing away their food & meds, dumping them in crowded Mexico shelters without COVID tests. T42 doesn't protect public health. It just tortures refugees.4/5
We're calling on Biden admin to end Title 42 expulsions and #WelcomeWithDignity those seeking protection at the border. Look out for our joint report on Title 42 with @humanrights1st @AlOtroLado_Org and @HaitianBridge dropping in the next few weeks! 5/5
