Asylum Seekers Fill Tent Camps As Part Of U.S. “Remain In Mexico” Policy

MATAMOROS, MEXICO - DECEMBER 08: A family of Mexican asylum seekers walks to the center of the international bridge between Mexico and the United States to officially request political asylum from U.S. immigration officials on December 08, 2019 in the Mexican border town of Matamoros, Mexico. They had been staying in a squalid camp, located across the international bridge from Brownsville, Texas, which houses more than 1,000 Central American and Mexican family members. The immigrants are now required by the U.S. government to wait in Mexico as part of the Trump Administration's "Remain in Mexico" process for people legally seeking political asylum in the United States.
