'We know this is a President who's lawless, who's willing to divert resources for toothbrushes and use it for detention.' Democratic Rep. Lloyd Doggett says President Trump is to blame for the terrible conditions and overcrowding in border facilities.
Extreme overcrowding and children younger than 7 being held in custody for more than two weeks -- far longer than the allowed 72 hours -- are among the"urgent" issues discovered at Border Patrol facilities in unannounced visits by an internal government watchdog.
The unannounced inspections took place in early June in the Rio Grande Valley region of Texas, along the US-Mexico border. That area is the busiest sector for arrests on the southern border. The report includes several photos that depict the extreme overcrowding, as well as standing-room-only conditions in some Border Patrol facilities, which are designed to be temporary holding facilities.
