This is Cynthia (9), Diego (6) and Esau (5). Their Mom, and only parent, was detained in Wednesday’s #ICERaids #ICERaidsMs. They’re staying with their Aunt (whose husband was also detained and has 6 kids of her own). They don’t know where their Mom is or if she’s ever coming back Meet Stephanie (18)and her sister Ingrid(3). Their Dad and Aunt were taken right in front of Ingrid, who was sitting in the back seat of the car. She sat outside the car for two hrs until a friend could pick her up. Stephanie says Ingrid keeps asking “where’s Daddy?” #ICEraidsMS

Montgomery, AL - Fridays are procedure days @ one of the last three clinics in Alabama. This morning, the umbrellas are up, but it isn’t raining. Volunteers lined up at the entrance to protect the women arriving for an abortion. As women arrive, shielded under the umbrellas, anti-abortion activists yell through a megaphone “at 11 weeks, a baby smiles,” to try and dissuade them from going inside. Volunteers play loud music in an attempt to drown them out.

This is the @USAID aid stuck at the border of #Colombia and #Venezuela - the US says the aid will provide emergency food at medicine for the ppl of Venezuela. Today, it sits inside a warehouse. Colombian police help to lay out all the food that will be put into food kids. The food kits are enough for over 5,000 Venezuelans for 10 days #Venezuela

Good morning from the #Colombia - #Venezuela border. Here on this footbridge 50,000 Venezuelans cross the bride everyday for things like food and medical supplies and diapers...you can see them holding carts and empty suitcases to fill with whatever they buy.... The situation is so dire many of these Venezuelans - waiting in line here for breakfast - are sleeping in the streets of Colombia....some families are squatting in a nearby open football field, sleeping on the dirt at night. #Venezuela

Last night, US Border Patrol confirmed that a 7yo Guatemalan girl died in one of their processing centers last week. She was with her dad who asked for help for his daughter who was vomiting...she didn’t receive medical attention until an hour and a half later. #MigrantCaravan I think about all the children from the migrant caravan as they cross the border into the U.S. and into CBP custody.... #MigrantCaravan

Update from Tijuana: federal authorities have surrounded Benito Juarez shelter (the largest shelter in Tijuana where the majority of the migrants from yesterday’s events are staying) And surrounding schools have been shut down - all the kids have been sent home. This Mom saying when she went to drop her kids off they told her they’re shutting the school today for the children’s safety #MigrantCaravan

Migrants from the #MigrantCaravan trying to get to the US border - have left their shelter saying conditions are intolerable and they want to be admitted into the US to seek asylum and are being stopped by riot police Over 1,000 migrants have stormed past riot police to get to the US border through the Tijuana River #MigrantCaravan

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

A report from Mexico City’s Palillo Stadium where thousands of migrants from the caravan have arrived and thousands more are expected - tired doesn’t even begin to describe it #CaravanaMigrante #MigrantCaravan Three massive tents have been set up by Mexican authorities for people to sleep in like 4yo Ian - the tents are now full though, and many more people are expected in the coming hours #CaravanaMigrante

Two little feet - battered and bruised - one of hundreds of weary travelers arriving in Mexico City - the first of the migrant caravans to slowly trickle into the country’s capital. Many of them sick and hungry... #CaravanaMigrante Roughly 300 migrants arrived in Mexico City between last night and this morning - many of them hitching rides on top of trucks and semis in order to make it here to this stadium where México is allowing them to stay - many will rest and sleep on the stadium’s open air bleachers

Headed into #Tornillo Detention Facility for children where the govt is expanding to accommodate the influx of kids. The tent city was originally only supposed to hold 450 children, now approx 1500 are there and they can now hold 3800 @NBCLatino A sample schedule for the children inside #Tornillo - as of today, the govt says there are “1500 unaccompanied alien children” at this tent city - ages 13-17 years old. On average, the kids spend about 25 days here until they can be released to a suitable sponsor

Families are still separated. This is Raquel. Her two sons are among the 565 kids STILL separated from their families. Deadlines have come and gone for the #Trump Admin. + kids remain in gov. custody. Raquel is afraid her family will be forgotten. @NBCLatino @NBCNightlyNews This is Raquel’s 9yo son - being held at a gov. facility in Houston. He has autism and doesn’t understand why he can’t go home with his Mom.

This is Marklen. He is 13yo and has been stuck inside a facility for kids in HHS custody for almost 3 months. Deemed one of the nearly 700 kids as ‘ineligible’ 4 reunification, he asks his family on the phone “when can I leave?” - his story: nbcnews.to/2n09Vrm This is Marklen’s Mom, Rafaela. In her native Mayan language from her home in Guatemala, she begs the U.S. gov to release her son who has been held in HHS custody for almost 3 months. @NBCLatino

Children walking out of a BCFS HHS center in Harlingen, Texas.

Mexicans are headed to the polls today to elect a new President... #AMLO is the favorite, many have called him #Mexico’s answer to @realDonaldTrump analysts say that might not be true and voters think he’ll stick up to #Trump who say their current President #Nieto never did 87 million Mexicans (who live in and out of the country) are registered to vote. Juan Gomez-Cruces, 35, who lives in Atlanta, was so unhappy with all the candidates, he just wrote an “X” on his early ballot and sent it back to #Mexico -Read more @NBCLatino nbcnews.to/2KAlZNi

This is 5yo Genesis from Honduras. She has been sleeping on the floor for 2 days at this border crossing with her Mom and brother. As she tucks her teddy bear in bed, the rain falling in Matamoros seeps onto her cardboard mat Genesis has had a fever since she got here @NBCLatino A thunderstorm makes its way through Matamoros - Elsy attempts to shield her children from the water by turning her back from the rainstorm. The floor (where they will sleep tonight) is covered in a massive puddle of water.
