People have taken to the streets across the United States urging an end to migrant detention centres as photos revealed the facilities severely overcrowded conditions.
The inspector general for the US Department of Homeland Security has become the latest to warn of "dangerous overcrowding" in the Texas facilities, located near the United States-Mexico border.
Crowds of people gathered chanting "close the camps" in New York, Chicago, Indianapolis and San Francisco, including outside the offices of US senators and representatives.
