El Paso declared a state of emergency over the ongoing migrant crisis in the border city.Mayor Oscar Leeser said he decided to finally make the declaration as the situation is beginning to threaten the safety of residents and migrants alike. He said 2,500 migrants are arriving in El Paso daily, and that those numbers are likely to multiply as Trump-era border legislation expires this week. The declaration comes just days after Leeser tried to walk out of a press conference after being pressed by reporters on why he hadn't yet made an emergency declaration.
