Meanwhile, in El Paso, Border Patrol officials said they were overwhelmed by the number of families crossing to seek asylum. Video footage showed hundreds of migrants being held under a bridge, surrounded by chain-link fences as temperatures dipped into the 40s. Over the weekend, officials said they removed the families, but critics say they just relocated them to the other side of the bridge that is harder to see. Others called the images part of a Trump administration stunt to support the argument that the United States is over capacity at immigration detention centers and unable to hold new arrivals.
