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

MATAMOROS, MEXICO - DECEMBER 09: Asylum seekers walk back into Mexico after their immigration court hearing on December 09, 2019 in Brownsville, Texas, across the river from the border town of Matamoros, Mexico. More than 1,000 Central American and Mexican asylum seekers have been staying, many for months between immigration court hearings, in a squalid camp located next to the bridge in Matamoros, Mexico. Immigrant families seeking asylum are now required by the U.S. government to stay in Mexico as part of the Trump Administration's "Remain in Mexico" process for people legally seeking political asylum in the United States.
