Officials watching over the facility have expressed deep concern that the migrants in the facility are under threat of self-harm, and have gone so far as to remove pencils, pens, scissors, nail clippers, and toothbrushes from the tents, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/immigration-migrant-children-fort-bliss-tent-city-texas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to CBS News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the children have been placed on suicide watch, with 24-hour in-person supervision from facility officials.
