According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national\/immigrant-children-camp-texas-biden\/2021\/02\/22\/05dfd58c-7533-11eb-8115-9ad5e9c02117_story.html?utm_campaign=wp_main&#038;utm_source=twitter&#038;utm_medium=social%20https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/nation\/u-s-reopens-texas-tent-facility-to-hold-immigrant-teenagers\">reports<\/a> Monday, Biden reopened a tent housing facility in Texas that\u2019s holding up to 700 immigrant teenagers.<\/p>\n<p>The move has advocates, lawyers and human rights activists accusing the administration of breaking a campaign promise to establish more immigration reform. Critics have also argued that the facility, which allows for in-person education, is hypocritical as Biden has yet to launch a plan for public schools in the U.S. to get back in the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>Press Secretary Jen Psaki defended the move to reporters on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki defends the administration\u2019s creation and use of \u201cmigrant facilities for children\u201d at the southern border:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not kids being kept in cages.&#8221;<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QCJndIYflq\">pic.twitter.com\/QCJndIYflq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Alex Salvi (@alexsalvinews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alexsalvinews\/status\/1364269807458164736?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 23, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The emergency shelter was previously opened under the Trump administration for a month in 2019.

However, the United Nations has warned people not to go to the border.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are asking people to not go to the border\u2026to use these two virtual modalities to register so that they can be queued up and then be able to cross the border in an orderly fashion,\u201d stated Mark Manly, a representative for the UN Refugee Agency. \u201cIf people have already entered the United States, they shouldn\u2019t go to the border and they should await instructions from the U.S. government on how their case can be dealt with. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration is set to review immigration cases for nearly 25,000 people enrolled in the migrant program this Friday. In the meantime, the migrant facility for children is set to remain open.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BREAKING: Sign outside Biden&#8217;s migrant children detention center <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Jr8cPpty94\">pic.twitter.com\/Jr8cPpty94<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jack Posobiec \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@JackPosobiec) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JackPosobiec\/status\/1364073326264672257?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 23, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/democrat-stimulus-bill-stuffed-liberal-fluff-says-senate-minority-leader-mcconnell\/\">Democrat stimulus bill stuffed liberal fluff, says Senate Minority Leader McConnell<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2274044,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AP21044105245877-741x437.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Critics slam Biden admin. for reopening migrant facility for children","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-164695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AP21044105245877-741x437.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Critics slam Biden admin. for reopening migrant facility for children","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=164695"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164695\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2274044"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=164695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=164695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
