Texas Democrat shares new photos of migrant kids being held at the southern border
Fox News
A Democratic congressman has shared new photos of the overcrowded conditions at border facilities, where officials have been overwhelmed by a surge of migrants in recent months.
Cuellar, whose district lies in south Texas, sharing a border with Mexico, said many of the migrant kids have been held "for longer" than the legal 72-hour limit. Under federal law, children arriving at the border without parents should be transferred within three days from U.S. Border Patrol custody to long-term facilities run by U.S. Health and Human Services until they can be released to family members or sponsors.More Related News
