The Biden administration has opened a number of tent facilities and is reportedly looking to reopen a number of shuttered juvenile detention facilities to handle some of the existing overflow, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/report-biden-admin-plans-to-reopen-juvenile-detention-facility-dems-including-kamala-harris-once-accused-of-abuse\">a controversial Health and Human Services facility<\/a> in Homestead, Florida, that was the subject of a number of protests, including one by now-Vice President Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Post reported last week that other, smaller facilities are already being pressed into use.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[An] emergency facility \u2014 a vestige of the Trump administration that was open for only a month in summer 2019 \u2014 is being reactivated to hold up to 700 children ages 13 to 17,\u201d the Post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national\/immigrant-children-camp-texas-biden\/2021\/02\/22\/05dfd58c-7533-11eb-8115-9ad5e9c02117_story.html\">reported<\/a>. \u201cGovernment officials say the camp is needed because facilities for migrant children have had to cut capacity by nearly half because of the coronavirus pandemic. 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>President Joe Biden made it his first order of business to roll back the Trump administration\u2019s strict immigration curbs as a way of delineating the new Biden administration\u2019s priorities. Biden\u2019s administration, though, is now struggling with the practical consequences of a sudden influx of illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>The White House would not call the situation a \u201ccrisis\u201d and stood by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas\u2019 decision to label the ongoing issue a \u201cchallenge\u201d and not a \u201ccrisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I\u2019ll leave that to the Secretary of Homeland Security to define,\u201d White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in response to a question on the issue, \u201cHe said it was a challenge, it is a challenge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have more than 7,000 unaccompanied kids who have come into the United States, and that is certainly a lot of children that we are trying to treat humanely and safely and processed through the system as quickly as we can,\u201d she continued, calling it \u201cnot easy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
