Haitian families with pregnant mothers awake after sleeping a cold night next to a cauliflower field on December 08, 2021 in Yuma, Arizona. U.S. Border Patrol agents said the previous night that the detention facility in Yuma was full and they had stopped taking in more immigrants for the day. Immigration officials were overwhelmed processing thousands of new arrivals, with many families trying to reach U.S. soil before the court-ordered re-implementation of the Trump-era Remain in Mexico policy. The policy requires asylum seekers to stay in Mexico for the duration of their U.S. immigration court process. In many cases migrant families with pregnant mothers, considered highly vulnerable, are allowed by Mexican immigration officials to proceed to the U.S. border, where they can apply for asylum.
