'A new normal': Migrants huddle in open-air camps on US border

Migrants in the United States are being herded into open-air camps where they lack access to food, water, and medical care. These camps are located in a desert filled with scorpions and snakes, and the sanitary facilities are abysmal. Border patrol authorities confine asylum-seekers in these camps until they can be taken to an official processing center. The migrants are told that they will be deported unless they stay in the camps. The situation is overwhelming the immigration system, and the CBP One app, the only way to secure appointments with asylum judges, has language limitations.
