The border agency has been the subject of widespread criticism for the horrific conditions in its federal detention facilities, in which children are exposed to disease, hunger and overcrowding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The news comes after Axios reported late last week that the Biden administration was allowing the facilities to operate at 100% capacity to meet the demand of the huge surge in illegal immigration taking place on the southern border. The centers were previously allowed to only operate at 50% capacity to adhere to social distancing guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>USA Today reported over the weekend that Biden was \u201cstill sheltering children separated from close family members in federal facilities for weeks on end \u2013 something immigrant advocates and attorneys had hoped the new administration would resolve by now.\u201d The report <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/dNqHp\">noted<\/a> in its headline that children were being \u201cbeing separated from relatives for weeks\u201d under Biden.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe migrant children often arrive with a grandparent, older sibling or other relative but are separated until federal officials can confirm the accompanying adult is their relative, as required under U.S. law,\u201d the report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/nation\/2021\/03\/06\/migrant-children-facility-used-house-minors-separated-family\/4587455001\/\">stated<\/a>. \u201cBut it also classifies the youngsters as \u2018unaccompanied minors\u2019 and places them in federal shelters until a sponsor or adult is vetted, a process that can take several weeks or even months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The policy is different than the Trump administration\u2019s \u201czero tolerance\u201d policy. Trump ended up signing an executive order that changed the policy so that \u201cfamilies are expected to be kept together, even if a parent faces prosecution for breaking immigration laws,\u201d according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politifact.com\/article\/2018\/jun\/25\/donald-trumps-executive-order-ending-his-administr\/\">PolitiFact<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Examiner reported late last week that multiple sources familiar with the matter said that the Biden administration was considering changing the names of the facilities to \u201creception centers\u201d because it sounded less harsh.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe name would distinguish the facilities, one of which has been set up in Carrizo Springs, Texas, from existing structures maintained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Health and Human Services\u2019s Office of Refugee Resettlement,\u201d the report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-admin-allows-child-migrant-detention-centers-to-open-at-100-capacity-eyes-giving-them-new-name-reports\">said<\/a>. \u201cImages of one such Border Patrol facility led to criticism that President Donald Trump held children in \u2018cages.\u2019 Often, other such buildings are called \u2018detention centers\u2019 or \u2018holding facilities.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>This report has been updated to include additional information.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
