EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14) — Children were seen playing soccer outside tents set up at the Marcelino Serna Port of Entry in Tornillo Friday morning.

At least one tent is visible in Tornillo just hours after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services confirmed the city will house immigrant children separated from their parents.

The Trump administration selected the Tornillo Land Point of Entry as a temporary shelter for the immigrant children.

KFOX14 saw tents being erected Friday morning, one week after community leaders received a letter notifying them about the shelter for unaccompanied minors.

KFOX14 saw more than six tents, which appear spacious.
There were also police officers and one emergency management vehicle.

Congressman Will Hurd who represents the Tornillo area released the following statement:

I’m disappointed in the lack of information that HHS has provided about the detention situation along the border especially plans for a “tent city” in Tornillo. The crisis along the border is not new and will continue until we have smart border security, work to address root causes of mass migration from Central American countries and have enough immigration judges to apply consequences for violation of the law. Our strategy to solving our broken immigration system should never include the use of children as a deterrent.

There are about 100 children at the shelter and nearly 200 are scheduled to arrive later today, according to sources.

Reporter Simon Williams was at the site Friday morning, where he was able to see at least one tent.

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the Trump administration’s "zero tolerance" policy in April, stating that thousands of children separated from their parents at the border have quickly filled Texas shelters.

Temperatures in Tornillo are typically around 100 degrees during the month of June, but a spokesperson from the department says that temporary shelter tents will be air-conditioned.

The Texas Tribune reports that a spokesperson from the department says tents at this Tornillo site will take in about 360 children in the coming days and expand from there.
