3. The part of Mexico they are being pushed to is very dangerous. This is a major passageway for the drug trade and cartels are everywhere. We are sending vulnerable people with no resources into the hands of these cartels, putting them at risk for rape, torture, and murder.

Update: These tents will be used as courtrooms for migrant asylum hearings instead of using the buildings offered by Laredo. We’re going to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to erect these tents instead of using nearly free facilities. Wonder who got the contracts?
