Due to the fact that media is not allowed inside the McAllen border patrol station, Action 4 News has learned what it's like from those who have been inside.
Maria and her 10-year-old son were just one of thousands of families that have been forced to stay in crowded rooms without leaving for days.
It took them 22 days to travel from their home in Honduras to the US before they were caught by Border Patrol agents just minutes after crossing the Rio Grande in a raft.
“He took everything from us, and he screamed at us and he told us to give him everything,” Maria said in Spanish. “He took our shoe laces, lotions, clothes, sweater and it was really cold. He just left us with the shirt we were wearing and the rest he threw away."
Maria never expected this to be her welcome to the US.
Maria and her son left their home in Honduras and embarked on a dangerous journey through Central America and Mexico.
She faced armed police along the way whom only let her pass if she paid 200 pesos ($15.40).
This happened to her eight times throughout her journey.
One time, Maria was also forced to hide her son so they wouldn't take him from her.
Maria thought the worst was over but she had a rude awakening when she and her son arrived in the Promise Land.
They were locked-up in a holding pod with over 100 other immigrants.
“We were there for days with the same clothes, without brushing our teeth or showering,” Maria said. “We all went to the same bathroom where there wasn't even a curtain. We would go to the bathroom and everyone would see."
The conditions were so bad that Maria's son passed out.

This Honduran Mom has nothing on Hillary Clinton...
