FACT CHECK: Did the Trump Administration House Undocumented Immigrants Under a Bridge in El Paso?
(rated: True)
U.S. President Donald Trump’s immigration policies came under renewed scrutiny in March 2019, when photographs emerged that appeared to show relatively large numbers of undocumented immigrants being housed behind wire fencing under a bridge in El Paso, Texas.

On 27 March, the website Grit Post published an article with the headline “Trump Administration Cages Immigrants Under Bridge Because Detention Center Is Full,” which went on to report that:

Several photos that have emerged show what appear to be hundreds of immigrant families caged under the Paso Del Norte Bridge in El Paso, Texas.

The photos were initially tweeted by Washington Post immigration reporters Nick Miroff and Bob Moore, who said the immigrants are being held there because the border patrol station in El Paso — just beyond Ciudad Juarez in Mexico — is full.


That report prompted multiple inquiries from Snopes readers about the authenticity of the photographs in question and the facts surrounding them.
