Attorney Haim Vasquez represents families of children who have been processed at the convention center.
He said families he represents have not had children held on buses, but some were kept at the facility longer than expected.
“There’s no reason why a kid should be more than a couple of hours in a bus,” Vasquez said.
There is substantial security in areas behind the convention center that were set up by the government for vehicles entering and exiting the facility.
That is where NBC News recorded video of buses sitting, with children evidently inside.
A bus driver told NBC News that children were kept in the buses overnight at times.
