The Department of Homeland Security called accusations that the facilities used to detain migrants, and specifically migrant children, are"concentration camps" as offensive during a Congressional hearing Thursday afternoon.
"My men and women, as well as the men and women in [Immigration and Customs Enforcement], are doing the best that they can with the limited resources that they have," she continued."I'm calling agents that are bringing toys for children and buying them with their personal money. Agents are bringing in clothes, they're going above and beyond day in and day out to try to care for these individuals to the best of their ability.
The testimony came in response to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's repeated descriptions of tent camps set up by various agencies under Homeland Security as"concentration camps." The congresswoman's remarks have sparked support and criticism for using theU.S. Border Patrol Chief Carla Provost testifies during a House Homeland Security Committee Hearing on June 20, 2019 on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.
Still, critics argue that the lack of humane conditions in migrant detention camps are not for lack of funding.
