The Biden administration has opened another two emergency holding facilities used to temporarily house unaccompanied minors who illegally crossed into the United States amid the ongoing crisis at the southern border.
Both facilities are located in Texas and will receive their first group of unaccompanied children on Monday, who will be transferred out of U.S. Customs and Border Protection custody, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office on Refugee Resettlement.
One of the facilities will be located at Target Lodge Pecos North property in Pecos, Texas, and will take in 125 children on Monday.
These facilities will join a growing list of emergency intake sites and overflow facilities available to take in unaccompanied minors who enter into the country illegally without an adult.
The administration has been opening up such facilities to address the significant surge of illegal border crossings in recent weeks.
It is seeking to build capacity for 13,500 beds, with the potential for additional capacity in order to meet what has been a continuous flow of unaccompanied minors coming across the border.
During the month of March, Border Patrol apprehended more than 150,000 illegal border crossers-50,000 more than February-according to former CBP Commissioner Mark Morgan.
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.
