00:00Here, on the Mexican side of the border with the United States,
00:05concerns are growing following the inauguration of President Donald Trump.
00:11Mexican authorities have been trying to cut the numbers of people crossing into the United States.
00:18Last week, border agents discovered a secret tunnel in a sewer system.
00:27This shelter currently houses 16 people.
00:31But those who run it worry that may be about to change.
00:38We are a bit tense.
00:42We know that the capacity of the shelters is not enough for the volume of movement we are expecting.
00:54There are 23 migrant shelters across the town, which are at about half their capacity.
01:01And with America's new president threatening to deport millions,
01:05there are worries the government and humanitarian organizations are not prepared.
01:11We have a network of shelters, both from the government and from faith-based organizations and civil society.
01:18They have a capacity of up to 2,700 people.
01:22We will see how many beds we have and whether we need to open more of them.
01:30Temporary accommodation, that will likely include tents,
01:34will do little to protect people from the sub-zero temperatures in Cuedad Juarez.
01:39And those who are already here know that only too well.
01:47It's horrible. My son's face is all frostbitten.
01:51He says his little hand's hurt.
01:54As we come from a hot place, it affects us. We're all sick.
01:58Cuedad Juarez is just one of many towns facing this potential crisis.
