The incoming congresswoman of the Texas border city of El Paso is warning of an imminent "crisis"  as local officials and charities scramble to accommodate at least 1,600 migrants dropped off there by federal authorities in recent days.

Representative-elect Veronica Escobar, a Democrat, told CBS News, "We have these teams coming in to play in our Sun Bowl this weekend and the hotels are booked," referring to the college football game El Paso has hosted since 1935. "We're facing a real crisis coming up … to find places for all of these (migrant) families."
