In Photos: Detained Children Housed in Tents

Twenty miles outside of El Paso, Texas, along the U.S.-Mexico border, sits the Tornillo Port of Entry, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility which was selected by the Trump administration to be the first site for temporary housing for the overflow of unaccompanied minors and the children of detained migrant parents, under the new “zero-tolerance” policy.

From immigrant children, many of whom have been separated from their parents under a new “zero-tolerance” policy by the Trump administration who are being housed in tents next to the Mexican border to a metal fence that lies adjacent to the United States border near the Tornillo Port of Entry, these pictures will give you thrills.
