Thousands of asylum-seekers were stopped in their tracks by US President Donald Trump 's decision to cancel all CBP One appointments for people seeking asylum from violence or persecution.

Now, they are stranded in a shelter in Ciudad Juarez , a city along the US - Mexico border, with no money and uncertainty.

The family crossed the Darien Gap safely but were kidnapped by a cartel after arriving in southern Mexico .

The family says their smartphones and conversation are their only form of entertainment in the shelter.

“We never considered entering illegally, we never want to hide from authorities, we wanted to be able to walk free,” Beyker Sosa says.
