More than 14,000 children who arrived at the U.S.-Mexico border without a parent are in federal custody waiting to be released to adults within the United States, according to Biden administration officials.
The Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement has 9,562 children in its care as of Wednesday, two administration officials told reporters in a call Thursday.
At the highest point, HHS had 14,226 children in its care in December 2018, according to federal data.
The Border Patrol has not historically published data on children in custody.
Border Patrol's 4,500 figure is up from 3,200 in custody last week and is expected to continue rising as more children continue walking or swimming over the international boundary.
'LOST CONTROL' GRAHAM CALLS ON MAYORKAS TO 'CHANGE COURSE OR CHANGE JOBS' AMID BORDER CRISIS. Due to the influx of children and insufficient number of facilities and means of transportation, Border Patrol stations are overcrowded and holding children days longer than they are supposed to.
Border Patrol debuted several massive tents in the South Texas city of Donna, where a large processing center that it used to hold families, children, and adults during the Trump administration is being renovated to remove fenced-in rooms that critics compared to "Cages." That center was originally erected by the Obama administration.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
