The acting head of U.S. Customs and Border Protection resigned Tuesday amid an uproar over the discovery of migrant children being held in filthy conditions at one of the agency's stations in Texas.
The administration has faced a barrage of criticism in recent days over conditions inside the Border Patrol facility in Clint, Texas, first reported by The Associated Press: inadequate food, lack of medical care, and older children trying to care for toddlers.
CBP is the agency that apprehends and first detains migrant parents and children crossing the Mexican border.
Around the same time that Sanders announced his resignation, his agency said officials had moved more than 100 children back to the station.
An official from Customs and Border Protection said Tuesday that the majority of the roughly 300 children detained at Clint last week had been moved to facilities operated by the Office of Refugee Resettlement.
The lawyers spoke to children who contradicted CBP's claims that the agency provides regular meals, safe places to sleep and access to medical care.
CBP's facilities at the Mexican border were almost all built when most people crossing the border illegally were single adults.
