As many as 2,000 Nicaraguans now able to leave Texas because of a judge’s order likely will go to Miami this week, taxing the resources of local government, officials said. Earlier this week, a federal judge in Texas issued a temporary restraining order lifting an immigration policy that restricted immigrants to the area near the Mexican border. Officials there say that probably 5,000 aliens are affected, and a Miami shelter official, Cristobal Mendoza, said the city will probably have 2,000 new arrivals by the weekend.
