JUAREZ, Mexico — Just 15 minutes from El Paso, Texas, the largest immigrant shelter in this city of 1.5 million has become a way station for throngs of would-be border crossers — all anxious to see if Title 42 will be lifted on Monday, as the Biden administration intends. “Our city has become a waiting room,” Yvonne Lopez De Lara, the human rights coordinator at Casa del Migrante, told The Post on Thursday.The shelter is currently jammed to its capacity of 400 people. About half of them, according to Lopez De Lara, will base their decision about trying to enter the US on whether a Louisiana federal judge keeps the health authority in place or gives the White House the go-ahead to lift it.
