100 migrant children moved to Clint, Texas border patrol facility dogged by allegations that it was housing minors without providing adequate food or access to soap and toothpaste, CBP official says.
The government has moved about 100 migrant children to a Texas border patrol facility dogged by allegations that it was housing minors without providing adequate food or access to soap and toothpaste, a Border Patrol official said Tuesday.
Almost 300 migrant children had been removed from the facility in the town of Clint after a series ofchronicling its conditions were published in recent days. Lawyers who visited the facility last week described dirty and potentially dangerous conditions that they said were"appalling." Amid an outcry over their living situation, those children were taken to a tent detention camp in El Paso, Texas. Roughly 30 remained at the Clint facility, according to Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas. Customs and Border Protection then transported the new group of about 100 migrant children to the site Tuesday because other facilities were stretched past capacity, the official said.It was not clear how many of the new arrivals were previously held at the same facility.
This morning, my office was informed that only 30 children remain in the Clint Border Patrol station in El Paso County.
