polo sandoval is in brownsville, texas. how surprising is it to learn that this shelter, this children's center is not allowed to prevent kids from just walking out? >> reporter: it's certainly prizing, ana, and you have covered what we know at this point, this 15-year-old child walked out of the child squacar facility and you heard from this statement of that child care facility. they are not allowed to hold them against their will, they're not even rallowed to put their hands on them. the only thing they can do is walk with the children to the property line and talk to them, but once they get past that line, they have to let them go. they received a phone call calling officers to southwest key location in brownsville, texas to report the location of a 15-year-old boy, we now know that it was a 15-year-old child from honhonduras, and we do understand based on information from sourcers close to this investigation and with knowledge of what happened there, that this child is now in contact with relatives and in the process o

texas. that's about 800 miles northwest of brownsville where i am tonight and about an hour south of el paso. nbc's cal perry joins us life now from tornillo, texas. cal, what have you discovered there? >> lawrence, about a quarter of a mile behind me is the tent city. we have just some aerial photos to go on about what it looks like, 18 to 20 tents fitting ten unaccompanied minors in each tent at a time. we heard from a local congressman here, his district, he said they're possibly expanding out to 4,000 bed. lawrence, we can't get inside, we go to the road, we are escorted back by the border security. we saw vans leaving. we assume that was taking unaccompanied minors to dinner. by way of reporting, lawrence, i landed here recently as you did, i came from london, i cover government strife around the world. it's incredibly uncomfortable saying to you and the country on camera the american government is not letting us inside these facilities. the american government is not showing us inside these facilities. the american government is offering jacob soboroff photos from two years ago. i'm us

of these children, we now know that a 15-year-old child walked off one of those locations in brownsville, texas not far from where we are. only about 50 miles or so from our location here in mcallen, texas. what we know at this point is this is a very important distinction to point out here, ana. this child was not one of those recently separated from their parents so that their parents could be prosecuted but instead this 15-year-old honduran boy crossed the border illegally unaccompanied and undocumented. it was part of the trend that we followed for many, many years. of course in recent weeks, though, there's this renewed attention on these locations that care for these children to make sure these locations are caring for these children properly. southwest key, who owns and operates this facility, in a statement points out that they are not a detention center, they are simply a childcare facility. so when one of these children wants to leave the facility, there's not a whole lot they can do except accompany or at least walk with that child to the perimeter and ask them to remain on premises
