HHS could double child migrant capacity at Texas site amid border surge: report
The administration has scrambled to face a historic number of migrant children coming over the border

Roy Villareal, former chief patrol agent for the U.S. Border Patrol, explains how the migrant surge is overwhelming resources at the southern border.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) could double the number of child migrants it is caring for at a Texas military base, according to a new report -- as the administration continues to face the crisis of thousands of unaccompanied children coming across the border.
Axios reports that HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra told the Congressional Hispanic Caucus that he’s prepared to double the capacity for migrants at Fort Bliss -- where there are currently approximately 5,000 migrants being held -- as it looks to close temporary shelters elsewhere.
The outlet reports that migrant activists have expressed concern about such a plan because they say it is harder to care for larger amounts of children in one space.
