What Crisis? Report Claims TX Migrant Facility Hits 729% Capacity, Kids Going Hungry

While the Biden Administration refuses to acknowledge its own manufactured crisis at the U.S. border, reports are now circulating that severe overcrowding has led to children going hungry and sleeping on floors—and in one instance—a facility has reached 729 percent of its legal capacity.

The Post Millennial reports:


According to the Daily Mail, similar situations are faced by more than 3500 unaccompanied minors, some of them young children, being held in detention centers in border regions all across the state.

The government’s 72-hour maximum time for a child to be detained also seems to be far from reality in these facilities, as children are spending an average of 108 hours in these places. Some reports indicate that some children have had to spend as many as 10 days or more in these facilities due to immense delays.
“This situation mandates immediate action to protect the life and safety of federal personnel and the aliens in custody,” wrote Michael Meade, the acting assistant director for ICE’s field operations, adding that the crisis is likely to “grow over the coming months.”
Many people were hoping for better conditions under the new Biden administration, but that appears not to be the case. In fact, such overcrowding was never reported once during the Trump administration.

This is probably due to the fact that migrants were previously required to remain in Mexico while being processed and cleared to enter the US, and the Biden administration lifted that restriction.

At this time, the Biden administration continues to call the situation at the border a "challenge" and not a crisis.
