The US has 350 migrant children in Customs and Border Protection custody, the acting DHS secretary says. There were 2,500 last month before the $4.6 billion border funding bill was passed.
"On June 1 we have 2,500 children in our custody; 1,200 had been with us over three days. Now that we have the supplemental from Congress, HHS has additional beds. We only have 350 after yesterday afternoon's report and only 20 of those children have been with us more than three days so that's a huge improvement based on the resources we asked for from Congress and were finally given," McAleenan said on ABC's"This Week.
At detention facilities, migrant children plead for basics: food, medicine, soap and a bit of solace McAleenan said Sunday he wasn't previously aware of the group, but that he was"made aware that we had an allegation in 2016 that was investigated, followed up on and discipline was metered out." He said that"several agents" have been placed on"administrative duties" and that an investigation is ongoing.
