around midnight on Oct. 11. The shelter’s security cameras show uniformed soldiers armed with bulletproof vests and long rifles trying to force their way inside.“They were demanding the female residents, it’s only women and children here, to open up the shelter and let them in,” said Nicole Ramos, a director with Al Otro Lado, a nonprofit that hosts legal clinics at Border Line Crisis Center.
