Carrizo Springs

Throughout November, TPR has presented 'Native American Moments,' a special series exploring both well-known and little known stories of indigenous people, descendants of Native Americans, and the policies that influenced the evolution of the United States. This special report collects and expands on all those stories.

Congressman Joaquin Castro led a Democratic delegation on a tour of a temporary shelter for migrant children in Carrizo Springs Friday. It is one of the many facilities the Biden administration opened to house a large number of unaccompanied minors arriving at the border. Castro spoke with TPR's Maria Mendez after the tour.

Advocates say reopening a Trump-era facility near the border in Texas to house minors suggests the president isn't following through on his promises to change the nation's approach to immigration.
