(17 Sep 2019) The U.S. government says at least 42,000 migrants have been forced back into Mexico after crossing the border.
President Donald Trump's top lieutenants on immigration and border enforcement gave media a tour of the tent court complex in Laredo on Tuesday, defending the "remain in Mexico" policy.
The complex includes several rooms where court hearings are held as people wait and children read storybooks in Spanish.
The Department of Homeland Security has said it planned to spend 155 million US dollars 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.
During the tour, there were 15 immigrants in a processing room and two dozen in a room where migrants await a decision on their case.
Many of the migrants making court appearances complain of the dangers they face as they are forced to wait in crime-ridden Nuevo Laredo.
The US government has warned Americans not to travel to the area, citing safety concerns.
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan defended the "remain in Mexico" policy, calling it a reasonable alternative to separating and detaining families in the US.
