Acting DHS secretary doesn't accept report on conditions at Border Patrol stations: 'There's adequate food and water... because I know what our standards are, and I know they're being followed.'
Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan said he did not accept reports of unsanitary conditions and limited food and water at U.S. Border Patrol stations, calling the situation at the border"extraordinarily challenging" for the department, in an interview on ABC's"This Week" Sunday.
"If Illegal Immigrants are unhappy with the conditions in the quickly built or refitted detentions centers, just tell them not to come. All problems solved!" Trump wrote on Twitter this week. He said Homeland Security has reduced the number of children in their custody from 2,500 at the beginning of June to 350 children as of Saturday. McAleenan said the new funding to shelters run by Health and Human Services allowed them to move minors through the system more quickly, connecting them with case workers who will find approved sponsors to care for them upon release.
