Thousands in limbo after partial closure of US-Mexico border

Human rights advocates warn that the coronavirus crisis is being used to discriminate against migrants and asylum seekers.

But under the emergency policy, the US is also implementing strict anti-immigration measures.

Human rights advocates have warned that the virus is being used to discriminate against migrants and asylum seekers.
