As the coronavirus crisis continues to affect the world’s populations, no class or group is untouched by its devastating risk, including those migrants waiting at the U.S-Mexico border, health experts warn. Thousands of asylum seekers crammed in border towns like in Tijuana, Mexico, awaiting U.S. immigration hearings are at risk of dying from coronavirus because of poor health access and unsafe conditions. Most of those waiting are children and teenagers with their parents or unaccompanied. Those that have been processed and now in federal detention facilities in the United States could also be in danger of contracting the virus. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE), currently holds about 3,300 minors at three detention camps with their parents. Last week, the Office of Refugee Resettlement said it had halted all placements of unaccompanied children in California, New York and Washington state, where there have been large outbreaks of COVID-19, with reports of several staff at the shelters of migrant kids diagnosed with the virus. — File photos taken through the years of migrant minors in shelter camps and at the U.S.-Mexico border in Tijuana, Mexico. — #migrants #migrantchildren #MPP #usmexicoborder #archive #tijuana #tijuanamexico #migrantshelters #mexico #photojournalism #fotoperiodismo #blackwhitephotos #documentaryphotography #reportagespotlight #everydaymigration #everydaycovid19 #everydaycoronavirus #everydayeverywhere #everydaysocialjustice #everydayrefugees #everydaymexico #everydayusa #edca #everydaylatinamerica #frontera #everydaylafrontera #healthcrisis #portraitphotography #potrait #environmentalportrait (at US/Mexico Border) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-VIaYRl5lc/?igshid=1g1imsifj0364
