On Tuesday, though, a new report indicated that while those children are no longer in border patrol custody, they remain in United States custody \u2014 and they number in the thousands.<\/p>\n<p>The AP reported that \u201ctens of thousands\u201d of children, \u201cfrom toddlers to teens\u201d remain in U.S. custody, in a network of shelters across the country, many of which are escaping scrutiny. The shelters are, the AP noted, staffed, in some cases, by people who have escaped having to pass an FBI background check, and the children \u2018aren\u2019t guaranteed access to education, recreational opportunities, or legal counsel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Biden administration is holding tens of thousands of asylum-seeking children in an opaque network of some 200 facilities,\u201d spanning \u201ctwo dozen states.\u201d At least five of those facilities house more than 1,000 children.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Component-root-0-2-57 Component-p-0-2-48\">\u201cConfidential data obtained by the AP shows the number of migrant children in government custody more than doubled in the past two months, and this week the federal government was housing around 21,000 kids, from toddlers to teens,\u201d the AP reported. \u201cA facility at Fort Bliss, a U.S. Army post in El Paso, Texas, had more than 4,500 children as of Monday. Attorneys, advocates, and mental health experts say that while some shelters are safe and provide adequate care, others are endangering children\u2019s health and safety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thousands of migrant children have been intercepted at the United States\u2019 southern border in recent months and, at one point, the United States government was housing around 15,000 children in border patrol facilities, some for far longer than the 72 hours allowed by immigration courts and federal law.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration, which refused to call the issue a \u201ccrisis,\u201d took a number of measures to ease the burden on Customs and Border Protection, involving advocacy groups and the Department of Health and Human Services to transfer the children from CBP custody into HHS and private hands.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the Biden administration celebrated a victory, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-us-canada-56405009\">the BBC noted at the time<\/a>, announcing that the number of children in CBP custody had declined by 88%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe number of children being specifically held in CBP facilities, which were designed for adults, dropped from a record high of 5,767 on 28 March to 677 in late April,\u201d the BBC reported, quoting the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.<\/p>\n<p>The administration, however, reported only generally on where those children ended up after being processed by the CBP. According to the Associated Press, thousands ended up in shelters, some of which are escaping significant scrutiny.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPart of the government\u2019s plan to manage thousands of children crossing the U.S.-Mexico border involves about a dozen unlicensed emergency facilities inside military installations, stadiums, and convention centers that skirt state regulations and don\u2019t require traditional legal oversight,\u201d the outlet noted. \u201cInside the facilities, called\u00a0<a class href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/general-news-health-nm-state-wire-government-and-politics-1a7d3e0e8eca173138a9361dc9af0e83\">Emergency Intake Sites<\/a>, children aren\u2019t guaranteed access to education, recreational opportunities, or legal counsel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf particular concern to advocates are mass shelters, with hundreds of beds apiece,\u201d the AP continued. \u201cThese facilities can leave children isolated, less supervised, and without basic services. The AP found about half of all migrant children detained in the U.S. are sleeping in shelters with more than 1,000 other children. More than 17,650 are in facilities with 100 or more children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration has focused its immigration interdiction efforts on addressing \u201croot causes.\u201d The administration has charged Vice President Kamala Harris with inking deals with Central American countries in order to help alleviate the difficult conditions that the Biden administration says motivates individuals to join migrant caravans or pay to send their children north to the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The effect on illegal immigration appears delayed. According to Customs and Border Protection numbers, approximately 6,000 illegal immigrants were detained at the southern border per day in April. Around 122,000 people were apprehended overall.<\/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.
