In this Sept. 26, 2016 photo, a Haitian man listening to music on his phone and leaning against a wall decorated with a Mexican national flag and a framed image of the Virgin of Guadalupe, waits for a bed at the Padre Chava migrant shelter in Tijuana, Mexico. Many Haitians arriving at the U.S. border with Mexico are unaware of a new U.S. policy of putting them in deportation proceedings and detaining them while making efforts to fly them home.

In this Oct. 3, 2016 photo, Haitians line up at an immigration agency in Tijuana, Mexico with the hope of gaining an appointment to cross to the U.S. side of the border. U.S. Customs and Border Protection can only handle up to about 75 people a day at San Ysidro, and Tijuana authorities were unhappy about large crowds assembled on the Mexican side of the border crossing.

In this Sept. 27, 2016 photo, Haitian migrants hold up their Mexican migration documents as they hope to gain a spot on the daily list to cross to the U.S. side of the border, in Tijuana, Mexico. With hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Haitian men, women and young children regularly spending the night just outside the busiest United States border crossing, Mexican officials have moved to bring some order to the unruly scene by granting 20-day permits to stay in Mexico while also helping schedule their slots with the Americans on the other side.
