He had an initial court date in the U.S. last January, just before the pandemic. His second hearing, originally set for mid-June, has been canceled several times. He is now scheduled to see a judge next May.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ “I won’t throw in the towel, much less now that there’s a change of administration in the U.S.,” said Ruiz, who has been staying at a migrant shelter in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, across the border from El Paso, Texas.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Ruiz and others have been forced to wait in border cities riven by organized crime—some with travel warnings from the U.S. State Department equivalent to those given to Syria or Afghanistan.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Read more at the link in our bio. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 📷: @paulratje for @wsjphotos」12月28日 4時08分
