mcallen's federal courthouse. they were coming to be charged with illegal entry into the united states, just the same way that we have seen many mothers and fathers be charged since zero tolerance policy. that never happened. before the judge set foot in the courtroom. the u.s. attorney decided to drop those charges against the 17 mothers and ers. many people here including the attorney you're about to hear from who specializes in civil rights suspects it's about this climate of uncertainty that we're living right now because of the president's impleme implementation ofppolicy. >> they're changing things on the fly. >> let me tell you about these 17 people. transferred from the federal courthouse to a detention center. these are people detained by immigration authorities earlier this week. this is part of their preliminary hearing which, again, we've seen so many times policy where they get charged, they enter a plea and then may potentially be reunite would the with their kids. what will happen to these 17 mother

cnn correspondent palo sandoval is in mcallen, texas. polo, the lawmakers there were very descriptive about what they saw, many of them saying it was barbaric, and something's got to give. >> for the message today that we heard from these lawmakers, obviously very similar we've heard from other democrats who have visited these facilities in the last couple of weeks. of course as you mention, these lawmakers using the word really "prison" to describe what they saw inside, describing the scenes as heartbreaking, children sleeping behind chain link fencing under mylar, those alumin aluminum-like blankets. the pictures we've seen before through some images handed out by the government in recent time. currently, though, we do know these lawmakers are now on their way to another detention facility in the lower rio grande valley, an area described as one of the busiest when it comes to apprehensions. representative jackie spieir leading this delegation. wanting to take a closer look at what's happening. and try to get a better idea of where exa

in mcallen, texas, many protesters have gathered. our dianne gallagher is back there in galveston, texas. what is expected there today? >> reporter: froed, our protest much like chicago isn't expected to start for a little bit of time it's going be smaller than what you're seeing around the rest of the country. in part to population and also due to the fact they've been out here protesting weekly if not daily in these border communities, not just since the rest of the name became aware of the zero tolerance policy, but some for years have protested i.c.e. as an entity itself. they're sponsoring protests around the country. we're thinking about 100 people, according to organizers. really, mcallen, texas, the images from the processing center, which is just down the road, i toured it a couple of weeks ago. those images, those parents in cages t last cages covered in mylar blankets before they're separated. people in mcallen looking to people around the country to show them support today. >> dianne gallagher, thank you so much. as we co

mcallen, texas, anymore. they may be back in guatemal mcallen, texas, anymore. they may be back in guatemal mcallen, texas, anymore. they may be back in guatemala. the other thing is there's a paperwork issue sneaking up on everybody. the u.s. government loves its paperwork and they love it in duplicate. if you're born in a rural hospital in guatemala, and your mother presents that birth certificate here to officials while you're trying to get to your child in some kind of tent city, it's quite likely they're going to reject that paperwork. they're not going to accept that birth certificate. so i think the u.s. government is actually worse off than they were when this policy was implemented. they were vastly unprepared to handle the child separations. they were even more unprepared to handle the situation when we started moving around those tender-aged children. that's when we saw the creation of these tent cities and these beds and the discussion about perhaps moving folks onto military bases. so, no, i don't think they're any better off than they were a week a

. >> glor: alright, david begnaud with us from mcallen, texas. thank you. the administration is well aware a court ruling prevents it from housing children with their entained parents for longer than forays. they believe that puts more pressure on congress to act. but today, house republicans were not able to pass their immigration bill. nancy cordes is on capitol hill with more on this. >> they're extremists, open- border democrats. >> reporter: president trump tiled against the minority today, but it was his own party that split on a conservative immigration bill... >> the bill is not passed. te reporter:... and then had to vstpone a vote on a second bill that was supposed to be a compromise between the two wings of the g.o.p. >> i think there's just been a lot of confusion in the last 24 laurs. or reporter: the compromise bill would allow migrant children to be detained with their parents. it would also provide a pathway sh citizenship for some so- called dreamers, a move some conservatives call amnesty. al this provision allows them to sponsor their par

nos encontramos frente a la estaciÓn de buses en mcallen, texas, donde llegan los inmigrantes que van a ser procesados o los inmigrantes que van hacer cebados a un refugio que queda a un par de cuadras. y comenzamos hablÁndoles sobre la orden ejecutiva que hoy firmÓ el presidente trump para parar con la separaciÓn de familias, pero esto no quiere decir que esta prÁctica no puede volver a ocurrir. pablo gato nos explicÓ poco mÁs. pablo: la orden ejecutiva firmada por donald trump revierte de inmediato la polÍtica de separaciÓn familiar y ahora las familias podrÁn quedarse juntas mientras se decide su caso. pero esta orden no protege a las familias que ya han sido separadas. es su responsabilidad encontrar a sus hijos, dice este abogado. >> los adultos ahora que buscan a sus hijos llenen muchas dificultades en ubicarlos, en obtener informaciÓn y en reunificarse. pablo: por otro lado, el gobierno indica que las familias estarÁn juntas, si existen las condiciones adecuadas. es decir, que podrÍan darse casos de separaciÓn familiar. la otra consecuencia la orden ejecutiva es qu

that is where we find msnbc's mariana a tenten cio in mcallen. she has spoken to families who have been released. i know you've talked to many families make ting this terribl choice. they've made this horrible journey here and now they're being separated from their children. what have you heard? >> reporter: i want to give you a context of where i am now. this is the epicenter of this policy because here in mcallen, texas you have the courthouse across the street where they are being prosecuted. i saw 100 prosecutions in one day alone. and then you have the migrants who crossed the border illegally. it's not at 100% capacity yet, so the folks who do make it here, who get welcomed by these nuns and volunteers, they call themselves the lucky few. the lucky few that have been reunited with their children. but their stories inside these facilities, even for a couple of days, five, six days at a time, they give us a glimpse at the trauma that those 2,000 children and possibly 20,000, as you said, toward the end of the summer, could possibly be facing.

i strongly oppose the -- >> you're looking live pictures right there in mcallen, texas. we're going to try and retrack some of the tape to hear more of what some of those members of congress said. but you did hear texas congresswoman sheila jackson lee ing the president.do is act, the president has made it very clear over the past few days that he is leaving it up to congress to come up with some sort of legislation before intervening in this new zero tolerance policy put in place in april and may by the trump administration. but the president says ending the separation of children and families is squarely on the shoulders of members of congress, who need to come up with new legislation. let's talk more about all of this. joining me right now is cnn political commentators kevin madden and maria cardona. good to see you both. so maria, you first. the congresswoman says it's up to the president. the president says it's up to members of congress. the first lady by way of her spokeswoman came out today saying that the sight of this is something she hates to see, children bei

we're down in mcallen. we're talking to folks from mcallen. we're talking to -- a guy i talked to had a conversation with 20 years in -- in cbp. you know, the border, border protection. i talked to lawyers for migrants and people that offer them, you know, care. and they're talking about what a situation. meanwhile, he flies north to duluth. and in a huge stadium of folks all keyed up in duluth, is talking about the scourge at the border. and we're down at the border like, "what are you talking about?" >> seth: yeah. >> but, that's the whole point. he did this on the campaign. you know, he would go to kenosha or he'd go to somewhere in ohio and talk about the border and people wouldd be chanting, like, going nuts about it. because it's not actually the border. right? it's this idea of invasion. it's this idea of the country's changing, what, in ways they don't like. the border is a convenient metaphor for that anxiety. >> seth: obviously, immigration has been framed as a problem for a really long time. is it safe to say that the real issue is

>>> that is going to do it from here in mcallen, texas. craig melvin here. i'll see you back on "today" tomorrow morning. >>> meanwhile, taty tur st katyg by to pick things up right now. >>> president trump has indicated he will sign an executive order allowing families to be held in immigration detention together. he previewed the move earlier with lawmakers. >> we're keeping families together but we have to keep our borders strong. we will be overrun with crime and with people that should not be in our country. this has been going on for 50 years. longer. this has been going on under president obama, president bush. this has been going on for many, many years. we're going to see if we can solve it. this is not something that happened just now. we're going to see if we can solve the immigration problem like we've solved so many other problems. >> but the president did not need to sign anything to stop these separations. it was not law. this has not been going on for years. it was the result of a policy announced by his own administration. all he actually ne

they're calling themselves the mcallen 12 after the detention center in mcallen texas. they are heading there wearing their "i want my mommy" t- shirts that they made. they say.. that photo of the little honduran girl crying while her mom is being processed was absolutely heartbreaking to them. some of them told me they were up at night thinking about it.. sometimes they would cry thinking about so they knew they would not be able to rest until they did something.. and they say even now.. the work is far from over.lilli rey/organizer everyone who has a heart has seen a child like that whether they birthed them or their sister did, or their next door neighbor did. that they were able to throw their arms around that kid and say, i got you. and i'm going to feed you and i'm going to love you because that's what you deserve being on this planet. so we can't do that but we're going to come as close as we can by going there and showing that we want to do that.lia turk/organizereveryone is supporting the effort and everyone is distraught and upset and feeling the traume that .
