The US is bracing for a 20-year high in numbers of migrants arriving at the southern border, including thousands of children who are being kept in government-run detention facilities that critics say are inhumane.

The record-breaking influx of children has left US immigration officials scrambling for solutions to a growing humanitarian crisis.

President Joe Biden has urged migrants not to attempt to travel to the US border - "Don't leave your town or city or community," he said in a recent interview - but with Donald Trump out of office, some believe immigration to the US is now more possible.

On 22 March, a Texas lawmaker released the first photos of the child detention camps from the Biden era.
