Four tents are being erected in what’s known as El Punto in Ciudad Juárez across the border from El Paso to temporarily house Mexican migrants deported from the U.S. under the Trump administration.

"It's unprecedented," said Ciudad Juarez municipal official Enrique Licon as workers unloaded long metal bracings from tractor trailers parked in the large empty lot yards from the Rio Grande in order to build a tent city for deportees from the United States.
