Migrants anxious before court dates in Texas tents
1 / 13Immigration Tent CourtsThe Migration Protection Protocols Immigration Hearing Facility, a new tent court facility made up of tents and portable pods, Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2019, along the Rio Grande in Laredo, Texas. NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico — Abel Oset was seized with panic. After an 11-country odyssey that began when he and his namesake son fled Cuba, and included a moment on U.S. soil, he was crossing back into America.
The Department of Homeland Security has said it planned to spend $155 million to build and operate the tent courts but expects the costs to be less. But critics have denounced the proceedings because they are closed to the public and difficult for attorneys to access. Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan defended the"remain in Mexico" policy, calling it a reasonable alternative to separating and detaining families in the U.S.
Mexico has cracked down on migrants coming to its southern border, and the U.S. is working on diplomatic agreements with other Central American countries. Immigrants and advocates trying to help in Mexican border cities have reported families sleeping in overcrowded shelters, boarding houses or outdoor camps. Many have been bused south by Mexico to cities considered safer, though there was no guarantee that they would be able to return.
