US government moves most of children detained at a Border Patrol station in Texas following reports they were living under inhumane conditions
A migrant who did not give his name looks on with his children as they wait to hear if their number is called to apply for asylum in the United States, at the border Friday, Jan. 25, 2019, in Tijuana, Mexico.
Only about 30 children remained at the station outside El Paso on Monday, Rep. Veronica Escobar said after her office was briefed on the situation by a US Customs and Border Protection official. "How is it possible that you both were unaware of the inhumane conditions for children, especially tender-age children at the Clint Station?" asked Escobar in a letter sent on Friday to US Customs and Border Protection acting commissioner John Sanders and US Border Patrol chief Carla Provost.
But Clara Long, an attorney who interviewed children at Border Patrol Station 1 last week, said conditions were not necessarily better there. Many children interviewed had arrived alone at the US - Mexico border, but some had been separated from their parents or other adult caregivers including aunts and uncles, the attorneys said.
