Waves of families are trying to cross the border almost hourly and entering an overtaxed government detention system.
In this Thursday, March 14, 2019, photo, Hillary Herrera Cortez, 3, peers over the shoulder of her mother, Hildy Cortez Martinez, as the two wait for Border Patrol agents to process them at the U.S.-Mexico border near McAllen, Texas. Hildy Cortez said she named her daughter after former U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton.
The Border Patrol has become so overwhelmed in feeding and caring for the migrants that it announced plans this week to start releasing some families onto the street in the Rio Grande Valley to ease overcrowding in the processing center, providing the immigrants with a notice to appear at an upcoming court date.
The autopsy results for Jakelin Caal and Felipe Gomez Alonzo have not yet been released, but Customs and Border Protection has said both children were hospitalized after developing high fevers and nausea. Some migrants blamed extortion for forcing them to close small businesses. Others said gangs had killed close relatives and threatened to kill them.
Detainees are issued mats and foil blankets to sleep on the concrete floor. Each detainee receives a medical screening. The facility opened in 2014 during the Obama administration to address another surge of thousands of unaccompanied teenagers arriving from Central America. Most families are eventually bused to a Catholic Charities facility in McAllen, where volunteers provide food and medical checkups before taking them to the bus station or airport.
