A congresswoman has been sending staff members to Mexico to coach asylum seekers on a loophole in the immigration system, according to a new report.

Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-Texas) has sent aides to Juarez, just across the border, to speak to migrants who have been taken there after arriving at the United States under the recent policy change that requires asylum seekers to wait in Mexico for their case to finish.
