Biden Released 5K Unaccompanied Migrant Children into U.S. in November:
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released more than 5,000 unaccompanied migrant children to sponsors in November 2021. Another 13,644 are still detained and await similar transfers.
In November, HHS released an average of 179 children against another 366 apprehended near border crossing points daily — showing little progress on rolling detention totals.
According to HHS, the numbers do not include children from Mexico. In most cases, those are immediately returned.
Findings documented within a recent Congressional Research Service report identify the discontinuance of removals under the Title 42 COVID-19 emergency order as the likely cause of the surge in unaccompanied migrant children. The report found that migrant family units are voluntarily sending their children into the United States alone. Once the minor is in HHS care, the relative will enter and claim the child to begin the family re-unification process. --->READ MORE HERE
Biden Admin Released 8K Unaccompanied Migrant Children in December
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released 7,837 unaccompanied migrant children to domestic sponsors in December 2021. Nearly 10,000 are still detained and await similar transfers.
In December, HHS released 252 children against another 275 apprehended near border crossing points daily on average — showing little relief on rolling detention totals. The December figure is a sharp decline from the a high of 18,954 apprehended in July.
According to HHS, the numbers do not include children from Mexico. In most cases, those are immediately returned.
Many of the children are found abandoned by smugglers on the banks of the Rio Grande or in other remote areas. The children often carry little else but a phone number for relatives in the United States. --->READ MORE HERE
Follow link below to a related INFO:
After taking office in January 2021, Biden administration officials told migrants not to cross the border at that time. The administration also chose to stop turning away children who showed up alone at the border despite it being protocol under a pandemic public health policy meant to prevent holding facilities from being crowded with people. Following the decision to end child expulsions, more children showed up at the southern border than at any time in U.S. history.
In total, 146,925 unaccompanied children were encountered at the southern border, between the ports, and at the ports of entry in fiscal 2021, which ended in September of last year, according to CBP data. The 146,925 nearly doubled the record set in 2019, when 80,000 children came to the border.
