On the 14th Street side of the newly refurbished Casa del Nylon building is a small office without outside signage.

| Sra. Mercedes-Perez |
On a table inside the office a banner is taped with the heading "Team Brownsville, Humanitarian Assistance for Asylum Seekers."
We were greeted by a Sra. Mercedes-Perez, from Nicaragua, who seemed to be running the place.
"We're getting about 150 immigrants a day from Colombia, Nicaragua, Honduras, Cuba and other countries who've sought assylum here and been processed by the U.S. While they will be traveling all over the country to be with their sponsors, we make sure they have something to eat.
When I asked about today's menu, Mercedes-Perez replied: "Pizza, chips and apple pie."
