The organization, Border Kindness, is currently helping over 20 families.
On the other hand, Karla Hernandez, a member with the organization, tells News 11 over 20 families have decided to leave back home due to the constant push back in asylum-seekers court hearings.
“And because their immigration court hearings are constantly postponed and on pause since March. Many families are deciding to leave back home," said Hernandez.
