Some odd/suspicious details:
"Mother" wearing Elsa t-shirt (several sizes too small) - signal to potential customers?
"Mother" bears no physical resemblance to children
"Mother's" rough grip of child's wrist in both photos - distinctly unmaternal (although what kind of mother drags her young children 2000 miles across Central America)
Child aged at least 4 or 5 wearing diapers
Child's fingers stuck in wiffle ball - some form of punishment?
"Mother" wearing orange wristband (but not children)

It isn't tear gas It's a prop smoke grenade not used by law enforcmemt but rather avaliable to film atudios or tv networks

The US Border Patrol freely discussed their use of tear gas.
This is a photo from a Reuters photojournalist and these people are fleeing tear gas.

So they're fleeing tear gas, while plenty of others are closer to the smoke, are just milling around like nothing.... And a few other photographers are seen setting up similar shots. Sorry but if it we're a real emergency you wouldn't have 3 or more cameramen setting up shots while their subjects stood waiting... Nobody else is running away......
