Photos Logo Photos | Slide 1 of 50: In this Feb. 22, 2018 photo, Colombian police officers detain Venezuelan migrants who do not have no ID's and permits to sell products, in Cucuta, Colombia. The Venezuelan detainees are taken to the border and delivered to the Venezuelan authorities. Colombian border cities are coping with an array of public safety issues, like a rise in prostitution and groups of men, women and children sleeping on the streets. There is also a widespread perception of worsening crime, though police in Cucuta say the incidents remain relatively isolated. (AP Photo/Fernando Vergara)
