The number of unaccompanied migrant children in US Border Patrol facilities, which are akin to jail cells and not intended for kids, has reached dramatic highs, according to internal agency documents reviewed by CNN, underscoring the urgent challenge facing the Biden administration.
More than 3,200 unaccompanied migrant children were in Customs and Border Protection custody, according to the documents dated Monday. Of those, around 2,600 were awaiting placement in shelters suitable for minors, but there were just over 500 beds available to accommodate them.
The latest data comes on the heels of a trip to the US-Mexico border by senior administration officials to assess the situation on the ground amid an increasing number of arrests and indicates a rapidly increasing trend of unaccompanied children coming into the US. Less than a week ago, there were around 1,700 children in Border Patrol custody.

Thought Don Lemon said “there’s no crisis at the border” 🤔
@hector morales but what I said to you is true, where do you stand with your comment boy?
There’s no crisis in his woke utopia except for the whiteness of his fellow americans
@Leeroy wow. that’s really stupid. you really think democrats want all those people coming through because tucker tells you so? get a life
@Silent Rage1 Don’t say that about Don if he’s gay…leave it ..that’s enough
Don Lieman
I guess people don’t realize the consequences of their words. Biden promised these people something he couldn’t deliver, again. Are you Biden supporters regretting your steal yet?
@fish bone It shouldn’t be our problem call me heartless but those kids need to go find their way somewhere else it’s a bad time to be letting people in because of COVID anyways.
@fish bone or promised things for free! It seems a lot just want a hand out! We are getting closer to becoming a socialist country! Crazy for the people who do work, because we will be paying for it all!
Uneducated people voted for Biden.
@Red Monkey Trucking damn..u phuck her up..
@Alex 1218 really no one voted for Biden..lol
“Who built the cages Joe!”
Biden is destroying this country . I’m seriously embarrassed to have him as president .
@Marvin Kevin Obama!
It’s not ‘who built them’, but ‘how you use them’. Are you saying that Smith & Wesson or Remmington should be held responsible for mass shootings? Lol. good one.
@Diana McFarland 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@kelvin steam you guys still with kamala? that’s what you people really believe? that kamala is president? you folks are terrified of people with unusual names but now turns out you love names like trump and Putin and ing.😂😂🤣🤣
The bar was set so low for this administration, and they still found a way to trip all over it. 😑
The bar was placed underground for this administration and they dug deep enough just to trip over it
no, the major problems at the border had been mostly solved after the surge in 2019 when activists and media were donating tens of Millions$ encouraging kids to take 50/50 odds u die death march through central America, so Trump made deal with mexico to keep all asylum seekers from central america in mexico. If they were supposed to be “fleeing” danger in their country why cant they stay in mexico? Well, turns out they’re not in danger they just want better jobs, our jobs actually. since then the number of crossing/sex trafficking/drug smuggling/ETC have all gone down drastically and with the wall growing every day, they border situation wasnt a big deal anymore.
THEN, a totally legit election happened in which 200+ year old Bell-Weather counties( counties which for over 200 years choose the correct president as theyre the closely represent the nation in demographics etc.) Of the 21 remaining BELL-WEATHER COUNTIES ALL BUT ONE VOTED FOR TRUMP AND THEY DID SO WITH OVER 60% VOTES! But, the Gov more corrupt than we thought and along with media and useful TEACHERS UNION MEMBERS WHO HAPPEN TO WORK TO POLLING STATIONS WHICH IS WHY BIDEN HAS GIVEN THEM EVERYTHING THEY WANT AND WAAAY MORE!
Abyway, THAT WAS JUST ONE GREAT POLICY TRUMP MADE TO HELP THIS NATION ALONG WITH PULLING TROOPS OUT OF MIDDLE EAST WITH MULTIPLE MIDEAST PEACE DEALS AND WHATS THE FIRST THING joe biden does in office? destroy border SECURITY, stopped wall construction THATS ALREADY PAID FOR, HE’S LITERALLY THROWING BILLIONS AWAY ON THAT AND DESTROYING THE SOLID PEACE DEALS THAT WERE BEEING OBEYED FOR THE FIRST TIME BY TALIBAN! But joe cant have that, he got 20 $ million+ from lockheed this camaign and raytheon Board member in his cabinet! THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION AMERICA HAS EVER KNOWN AND ITS ONLY BEGINNING! THEYRE GOING TO START A CIVIL WAR GUARENTEED WITH THE INSANE BS THEYRE PASSING AND I THINK THATS WHAT THESE SICK PEOPLE WANT. IS THAT WHAT YOU ALL WANT? CUZ WE CERTAINLY DONT BUT WE ARE PREPARED…
START BUYING HARD METALS, BITCOIN, GUNS/AMMUNITION CUZ ITS LIKELY TO GET UGLY…!
MOST KIDS COMING IN WITH THEIR “FAMILIES” ARE BEING TRAFFICKED!! THATS WHY THEY ARE SEPERATED!
GET OVER “ORANGE MAN BAD”, HE’S NOT IN CUZ CNN VIEWERS DONT UNDERSTAND THEY ARE WATCHING PROPAGANDA!
LOL FOOLS STILL CANT SEE HOW LIED TO YOU ARE! WAKE UP LIBERALS, UR PARTY HAS BEEN OVERRUN BY COMMUNISTS AND UR TURNING INTO THEM TOO!!! YOU WERE TOLD THIS FOR 4 YEARS, BUT NO NO BELIEVE THE CORPORATE MEDIA WHOSE ONLY GOALS ARE PROFITS. NO PRINCIPALS WHATSOEVER!
By now CNN should be able to fit both feet in their mouth.
Haha good one
They dont flock here in the millions
@SilviaSE90Mike They who? Be clear or shhhhhhhhhh.
They’re nothing more than stenographers for the DNC, calling for the cancellation of all journalists who don’t comply
@Eric S Your brain cells have been fried. You approve of whatever suits your fancy. I listen to some rightwing media and feel sorry for some who believe that crap.
Trump turned everyone away, Biden is mostly leaning on that policy as they put it except they are taking in “unaccompanied” children? Isn’t that separating children from their families? Like AOC screamed about for a year. And they won’t let cameras inside the cages that Joe built 😂
sounds like they are taking children in that are already separated from their family and aren’t the ones actively ripping the families apart. which is a huge difference.
@bobsaget0429 “sounds like” you should prove it🤣
which is a huge difference
@bobsaget0429 sounds like you are a hypocrite….. call it for what it is instead of defending it
*_”Record number of kids in cages at US-Mexico border”_*
Fixed that headline for you.
@lesmo whomever THese kids are still separated form parents and in cages. And why wont the WH allow the media to examine the inside of these “shipping containers” with bars on tiny windows? Where is the transparency that was promised by Biden? Where is AOC? Why isn’t she at the border right now crying about the deplorable conditions that these children have to endure? Ohhhhh that’s right. Cuz now Biden is in the WH and MAmma Bear Pelosi would swat AOC and yell” BAd girl!” So AOC , the hypocrite, now stays silent.
@Brandon Bernard The Repubs have nothing else to offer so they have thrown you the Brownie immigration bone knowing you will gnaw on it. Most of the “illegals” that come from Mexico come in legally and don’t leave. A report says 11.1 million illegal white Europeans are in America and tons of Canadians and Asians. When you play the racist border shell game you lose and will never find the pea. You need mo’ edumacation.
@lesmo whomever LOL! So there is no crisis at the border then? Everything is fine. Then why have they had to move illegal alien children to a huge facility in Dallas? At least be honest and not hypocritical. You know that if Trump was still in office the likes of AOC and Omar and the rest of the Squad would be screaming about the deplorable conditions this illegal alien kids have to endure. But we do not hear a peep from AOC. Why is that?
And see? If you comment on the current crisis at the border , then you are “racist.” The new catch phrase from the LEft. This border policy has been a complete disaster for Biden. And he knows it.
Boxes with bars to ….Joe & Nancy don’t care about American citizens !
@Red Sky When will your Jr High school open back up? They miss you there.
This would be crazier if it wasn’t predictable.
@n k well if you’ve been through crisis with immigrants like I have you would see my point of view waiting to come here is fair all my family had to wait to come and do their dues to get here so should they and yes I have well English words but my roots in America run really deep
@Patricia Burnam seeking asylum/refuge is different than moving for economic reasons. We’re legally and morally obligated to accept asylum seekers
They simply wanna handover power to kamala. Biden will soon resign…that’s the plan. That’s why they’re reporting it
@kelvin steam right, the job he’s dreamed of since he was in grade school he’s just going to step down from to give the reigns to someone who is way more progressive than him
@kid sniffing biden yeah it’s weird how the numbers have gone up since we started allowing in asylum seekers again, or taking unaccompanied minors into custody instead of just kicking them out… it’s almost like you have no clue what you’re talking about lol
CNN 4 years ago: “Walls are racist, no ones REALLY crossing illegally”
CNN today:
They are fake news.
Ironic
CNN
Communist News Network.
they shouldn’t be there in the 1st place, it was a calculated bs move. send them home
Nah sorry lmao
Yeah sent them home
Waaaooooo , That is a lie all the way guys , Trump is already gone .This is 100% Democrats fault. .
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂
No it’s not
FACT
so the immigrants that got through during trump are Trump’s fault right? or are they still Biden’s?
@hector morales you actually need help. have you not saw the surge in illegal aliens crossing the border lmao. it wasn’t nearly like this when trump was in office 🤣🤣
$ BILLIONS OF DOLLAR “INDUSTRY”, Trump was right. This is all a rip off. IT’S NOT COMPLICATED.
Trump tried to warn us but no one listened
@Josh Pgh there were two types of Latinos who hated trump. The undocumented who did not benefit from his policies because it meant deportation and the other legal Latinos who felt like they might loose their slave pool
By the time CNN picks up these “news” stories, it’s actually called history.
They simply wanna handover power to kamala. Biden will soon resign…that’s the plan. That’s why they’re reporting it
@kelvin steam I’m sure you know. You’re in the clique, right? Jealous?
the comments against CNN on here is more proof how much JB lost !
Exactly! They are only good to persecute president Trump 🤦🏻♀️
@Miss Barilla De Fenton Did you send Trump any money yet? If he is indicted by the grand jury in Georgia he will be asking for more to fight his legal battles. Send him your Biden stimulus check if you qualify. You so funny.
I’m sure CNN will “circle back” to this later…
that’s a real loser of a press secretary that Joe has got …Kayleigh would blow her away !
joe liked china’s concentration camps so much he’s starting his own.
@K Day LoL. I guess I’d be more of an otter, not big enough to be a bear. Wanna meet up IRL, we can… work out our differences? IF YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN. Wink wink and all~
@1MHCS sorry I don’t play with “I guess I’m a otter” little boys. I like bears or as you may say “a real man’s man” 😘
@K Day Noooooo! Now I have real bear envy hahaha. Okay that was pretty fun. Well played, well played.
They simply wanna handover power to kamala. Biden will soon resign…that’s the plan. That’s why they’re reporting it
@1MHCS what’s funny is that you Biden supporters voted for a corpse that not even communist China and Russia respect. Also never mind the fact that under Trump you Trump haters actually got your stimulus checks lol.
Gee looks alot like “kids in cages” where is the outrage ?
@Todd yeah. and trump. or did you not notice?
@hector morales You didnt care when it was obama or biden. Only when it was trump. I honestly don’t give a crap at all. Cage em, don’t cage em… It’s all the same
@boris jankovici who in their right mind still watches CNN for credible news ? There is only a few shows left I watch on fox ..mainstream is a joke!
@John there is something going on now where Democrats are trying to gain full control over the media ..people just eat this crap up they dish out …it’s sad that so many ignorant people are in America voting the very people who will destroy our future!
@boris jankovici Trump did many things about it ….it was the 1st time in history that Border Patrol endorsed a candidate !
But they’re not in “cages”. They are only being held in “detention facilities”!!!!! Sort of like jails, but not cages!!
@oshtoolman no those are the ones trump made. I’m taking about the better quality dorms Biden opened up
@Hugh G Rection I guess you didnt read the “entire” article. Near the bottom, “….critics feel the reactivation of this Trump-era emergency facility in Carrizo Springs is regressive.” So in reality, Biden is using cages!!!
@oshtoolman Biden is opening up dorm style rooms for people to stay indoors. Trump left them outside in cages for over a year
@Hugh G Rection And source for this is?
@Hugh G Rection trump didn’t build under his administration..obama administration built them
They aren’t allowing cameras inside. So much for transparency. Most likely the conditions are deplorable.
Better than they use too
It should be deplorable. Do you think it should be a Disneyland? Maybe they’ll think twice before they come here.
“We have to send a clear message, just because your child gets across the border, that doesn’t mean the child gets to stay,”
President Trump did send that message . President Biden …when he needed votes …said come one come all . And the idiots fell for it :/
I totally agree
