we understand she's going to be doing the same in yuma, arizona today. happening against the backdrop of migrants still being dropped off at the bus station. we have heard from the president who said catch and release is over, but that's not what we're seeing. we continued to see migrants dropped off by volunteers in white vans with very limited resources, if not for volunteers helping out, they would have nothing at all, and no plans and nowhere to go. it was earlier this week on christmas day that nearly 200 migrants were dropped off. some of them had nowhere to go. in fact, it was a short time ago i spoke to one of the volunteers here that day. he describes a scene of utter chaos. >> they had been in the greyhound station but the manager was kicking them out in the cold. there were so many incredibly sick children. >> you saw sick people, children among adults. how young? >> babies, infants who are incredibly ill to elderly folks that are so sick. and we began to pass out cold medicine. never seen in my life people so desperate for cold medicine. >> r

s is the most critical >>> today homeland security secretary kirstjen nielsen is in yu yuma, arizona,iting officials at the u.s./mexico border, this after the death of a second migrant child held in border patrol custody. joining us is a former border patrol agent and the author of "deep in the shadows." thanks for your time here. as we approach this trip here, and we know that secretary nielsen is going there, what is something tangible that she could get done during this trip to the border? >> i think one of the things, i think it's important for the secretary to observe firsthand, and i think it also shows the concern that our agency would have and the dedication of efforts that they're doing to make sure that the children and all migrants coming to the united states are medically checked. i think it's important to know that one of the things that doesn't come out very often is that the only time that these children get any medical attention is when they're first encountered by the u.s. border patrol. they're placed in very difficult conditions when they leave their homes in guatem
