The Biden administration is moving another 500 unaccompanied children from border facilities under U.S. Customs and Border Protection custody to an emergency holding facility as part of efforts to reduce overcrowding.
The children are scheduled to arrive at the National Association of Christian Churches site in Houston, Texas, which has been transformed into an Emergency Intake Site used by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office on Refugee Resettlement (ORR).
The HHS made similar statements earlier this week to announce the opening of additional overflow facilities to address the significant surge of illegal border crossings at the U.S. southern, particularly by unaccompanied minors. Children have been placed in HHS facilities in Fort Bliss and San Antonio.
