Some reported\u00a0depression while others described trouble sleeping with round-the-clock bright lights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some of the children complained of spending up to 60 days in the shelters, even though an Obama administration-era decision puts a 72-hour limit on how long minors can stay in United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) custody. The Biden administration has skirted this requirement by moving migrant children who are captured along the United States-Mexico border out of CBP facilities and into facilities run by the Health and Human Service Department.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Mail reported that, as of Sunday, there are just over 14,000 children still in United States\u2019 custody, down from a high of around 22,000 in late April.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u201cThe food here is horrible,\u201d one of the children who spoke to attorneys wrote in her testimonial. \u201cYesterday we were given hamburgers but I couldn\u2019t eat it because there was a foul odor coming from the bread. I really only eat popsicles and juice because that is the only food that I can trust.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others complained of raw chicken, insufficient bathroom facilities, no laundry facilities, and just one hour of outdoor recreation per day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u201cLawyers were given access to speak with children in these facilities as they monitor government compliance with the Flores Settlement \u2013 a 1997 agreement governing conditions for which detained immigrant children can be kept,\u201d the Daily Mail reported. \u201cThe team of attorneys have interviewed children and conducted site visits at the emergency shelters, which were originally intended for short stays.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The reports also seem to indicate a growing issue with depression among child migrants house at HHS facilities, particularly among the girls.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/06\/10\/us\/politics\/us-mexico-border-migrants-children.html\">New York Times reported<\/a> earlier this month that it does appear that the Biden administration\u2019s \u201cchild migrant crisis\u201d is abating slightly. Although the number of adult illegal immigrants apprehended at the United States-Mexico border increased from April to May, the number of child migrants had decreased by around 17%, though the number is still far higher than in previous years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe number of migrant children and teenagers arriving alone at the United States border with Mexico decreased last month compared to a month earlier, according to newly released Customs and Border Protection data,\u201d the outlet noted. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/newsroom\/stats\/southwest-land-border-encounters\">CBP says<\/a> there were 17,148 unaccompanied child apprehensions in April and 14,158 apprehensions in May.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
