hope it's shaped up to be a terrific
Tuesday let's make this teacher time
Tuesday shall we shout out to all the
Educators out there uplifting informing
and inspiring students go on and dap up
your teach give a handshake or a high
five let them know you appreciate all
they do all right lots to get to today
but only 10 minutes to do it so let's
get to it I'm koi wire this is CNN 10
and we start with the end of title 42.
last week we told you about the looming
expiration of title 42 the policy set by
the Trump administration at the start of
the covet pandemic allowing migrants to
be quickly expelled at the U.S Southern
border without a chance to ask for
Asylum the policy expired last Thursday
night along with the national
coronavirus public health emergency with
this expiration there were major
concerns about a massive surge of
migrants at the border but according to
to Homeland Security secretary Alejandro
mayorkas the number of migrants at the
U.S Southern border is quote markedly
down over what they were prior to the
end of title 42. now even though the
number of people coming in maybe lower
than what federal officials were bracing
for communities at the southern border
well they're still on high alert Ed
lavendera has more
after title 42 ended late Thursday night
some migrants discovered they didn't
make it in time
this father and son from Venezuela were
turned away but he says the goal is to
get to the other side to find a way to
reach the United States but we'll have
to wait and figure it out we've been
very very clear
that there are lawful safe and orderly
Pathways to seek relief in the United
States and if one arrives at our
Southern border when it's going to face
tougher consequences in the days leading
up to last night's deadline border
officials saw a surge of migrants more
than 23 thousand are now in CBP custody
down slightly from earlier this week but
the end of title 42 did not trigger the
historic wave of migrants rushing to
cross the border Friday that was
predicted in El Paso thousands were
waiting to be processed outside a border
gate prioritizing those most vulnerable
populations we're doing this as quickly
and as efficiently and as safely as we
that number now down to a couple hundred
says the city's mayor after yesterday's
Spike at about 1800 that came in
yesterday who've not seen any additional
big numbers come in through the El Paso
sector we had lean twos or cats whatever
term you want to use literally all along
the wall John Martin runs a network of
shelters in El Paso and said the crowds
have dramatically dwindled in recent
days as of about 11 o'clock this morning
we had no new arrivals while he was
surprised at the lack of influx the
morning after title 42 lifted he doesn't
expect it will stay this way I have to
admit it's nice to be able to breathe
one more time but we can't let our guard
down because we still know it's coming
in January U.S Customs and Border
Protection opened this massive tent
processing facility in the El Paso area
about 20 miles from the U.S Mexico
border is designed to be able to hold
about a thousand migrants at a time and
as you can see construction crews are
working to expand and we're told by CBP
officials in June they'll have room for
another 1 000 my migrants to hold at
this facility in Brownsville dozens of
buses line up near an intake facility
but a major humanitarian group in the
area tells CNN they only had one bus of
migrants arrive today about 155 thousand
migrants were estimated to be in
shelters and on streets in Mexico
waiting to enter the U.S a source
familiar with Federal estimates said
migrants will still risk their lives to
make it to the U.S and from now on
people who crossed the border illegally
will face a tougher path to requesting
Asylum many will be deported like this
group who were Shackled and led on to a
repatriation flight like this one
leaving for Guatemala on Thursday
in the days leading up to the end of
title 42 this Alleyway behind a migrant
shelter in El Paso was packed with
migrants sleeping outside all of that
has changed and what several migrant
Advocates tell us is that for now they
think that migrants on the Mexican side
of the Border are reassessing the Border
landscape trying to figure out when the
next best opportunity might be to cross
into the U.S Ed lavendera CNN El Paso

today we are going to Spotlight an
inspiring young woman named Yasmin
Arrington who knows firsthand the
challenges of growing up while having a
parent who's incarcerated gaining
strength through her struggles Yasmin
started a non-profit group called
scholarships chips is an acronym
standing for children of incarcerated
parents the organization provides
scholarships mentoring and a network of
support meet our CNN hero Yasmine
Arrington
my father has been in and out of jail in
prison my entire life
my father's incarceration has certainly
affected me on a personal level
emotionally mentally
many young people who have incarcerated
parents definitely feel stigmatized and
marginalized are you looking at me what
are you looking at that's probably some
cookies
I was 13 years old when my mother passed
away
I was raised by my maternal grandmother
and my grandmother is a big advocate of
Education she knew that college was
coming down the pike for me but you know
there was no college fund
my grandmother began researching various
scholarships online that I would be
eligible for she said I don't see any
for young people like yourself who have
incarcerated parents and I kept that in
my mind
when I was a junior I went through a
social entrepreneurship program for
teenagers and we had to come up with a
social venture
so I pitched scholarships and the chips
of course is an imperfect acronym for
children of incarcerated parents and the
judges they love the idea and so here I
was 16 years old with a thousand dollar
seed Grant I wasn't even old enough to
have a bank account
scholarships is a non-profit
organization that provides college
scholarships mentoring mental health
supports and a robust support network to
college-bound young adults who have
incarcerated parents
the main objective is to help directly
address the financial gap and challenges
that many of our Scholars face
our Scholars are provided with brand new
laptops we also have an emergency fund
and so when Scholars have unexpected
challenges that come up we definitely
step in to help hi hello there how are
we doing our Scholars have the option to
opt in to being matched with a mentor
who wants to be a cheerleader and a
champion I mean let's remember this
journey right just lean into it and let
it just wash over you this is really
good stuff they have someone who has
already been through college and the
process that they're currently going
through see
[Music]
[Applause]
personally check in with our Scholars
getting ready for graduation yeah I'm
not congratulations
[Applause]
the check-ins are very helpful because
oftentimes
we will discover a need that a scholar
has that we otherwise didn't know
[Applause]
