As Americans headed to the polls yesterday - migrants waited in line outside this tent to get info about applying for #asylum in the US - most of the migrants in Mexico City initially set out from Central Am. To get to the US and still intend to do so #MigrantCaravan 
Inside the tent, I met Anna Joseph, w/ the Institute 4 Women Migration. She says most migrants aren’t aware of the difficulties that lie ahead when applying for the asylum in the US or how the #Trump Admin has politicized their caravan of migrants seeking a better future
During presentations like this one, Ana shows photos of #Tornillo and soldiers at the border. Why? B/c she says they don’t believe the US is putting migrant kids in camps and soldiers at the border solely b/c of their caravan - they these are rumors. So they show photos...
Ana explaining why photos are necessary to inform migrants about coming to the US - especially unaccompanied minors, many of whom are in the caravan. I went to the Tornillo Detention Facility (aka “tent city”) last month just after it expanded to fit 3,800 kids #MigrantCaravan
