U.S. government moves more than 100 children back to a remote Border Patrol station in Texas where children were caring for each other with inadequate food, water and sanitation.
HOUSTON — U.S. government officials say they’ve moved more than 100 kids back to a remote border facility where lawyers reported detained children were caring for each other and had inadequate food, water, and sanitation.
An official from U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Tuesday that the “majority” of the roughly 300 children detained at Clint, Texas, last week have been placed in facilities operated by the Office of Refugee Resettlement. The official, who briefed reporters on the condition of anonymity, wouldn’t say exactly how many children are currently detained there. But the official says Clint is better equipped than some of the Border Patrol’s tents to hold children.Some had been locked for three weeks inside the facility, where 15 children were sick with the flu and another 10 were in medical quarantine.
