At the same time, the number of unaccompanied children crossing the border has been inching up, with January reporting the highest total \u2014 more than 5,700 apprehensions \u2014 for that month in recent years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Post\u2019s report noted that left-wing activists were furious by the decision made by Biden since the \u201cTrump-era facility\u201d was a source of \u201cprotests and controversy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s unnecessary, it\u2019s costly, and it goes absolutely against everything [President] Biden promised he was going to do,\u201d Linda Brandmiller, an immigration lawyer, said. \u201cIt\u2019s a step backward, is what it is. It\u2019s a huge step backward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The nearly 70-acre facility has its own workout facilities, classrooms, barber shop, hair salon, emergency services, and water supply. The Biden administration has roughly 7,000 migrant children current in its custody spread across multiple facilities.<\/p>\n<p>The Post noted that Mark Weber, a spokesperson for the Biden administration\u2019s Department of Health and Human Services, said that the facilities were demonized during the Trump-era because people falsely associated them with detention facilities that are run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which removes criminal illegal aliens from the U.S. and noted that children always received good care under Trump.<\/p>\n<p>A similar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/u-s-shelters-for-migrant-children-near-maximum-capacity-as-border-crossings-increase\/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab7e&#038;linkId=111916688\">story<\/a> about the large uptick in illegal immigration on the Southern Border by CBS News referred to the facilities as \u201cshelters for migrant children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Online, critics slammed the way that the stories were framed, noting the media and left-wing activists often claimed that the Trump administration held children in \u201ccages.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump Jr. wrote: \u201cI believe you mean \u2018Cages\u2019 hence the bars on the windows.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I believe you mean &#8220;Cages&#8221; hence the bars on the windows. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5UpLIfY3rd\">https:\/\/t.co\/5UpLIfY3rd<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DonaldJTrumpJr\/status\/1364219859970764801?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 23, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Reason Senior Editor Robby Soave noted: \u201cAw it\u2019s like an adorable \u2018lil summer camp vibe now, thank you mainstream media.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Aw it&#8217;s like an adorable &#8216;lil summer camp vibe now, thank you mainstream media <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qUy5UUY9Zr\">https:\/\/t.co\/qUy5UUY9Zr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Robby Soave (@robbysoave) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/robbysoave\/status\/1364226732572565517?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 23, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Glenn Beck wrote: \u201cJust for the record, the Biden Administration IS separating children and parents, and building trailer park cages to hold those children.
