An El Paso church has decided to shut down its migrant shelter. Hundreds of migrants often stayed at the Sacred Heart Church shelter on a nightly basis, but those numbers have recently decreased.

Church officials say the decline in migrant stays follows a federal executive order this summer that limited the number of people who could seek asylum. The shelter will officially close October seventh.
