Thousands Of Migrant Children Have Been Forced Into Facilities Where They Suffer Alleged Sexual Abuse

There has been no answer from the Vice President on the border crisis for weeks as the number of migrant children has tripled while being detained at a facility in San Antonio, Texas. Multiple agencies at the state and at the federal level have received complaints of abuse.

From reports at the end of March, over 500 male children alone were taken to the Freeman Expo Center between the ages of 13 and 17. AS of earlier this week, that number had exploded to over 1,360 children.

“Right now we are facing a humanitarian crisis and I do use the word crisis.” Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, added, “Too many people coming in. Not enough people going out.”

Abbott has also called out Biden to SHUT down the facilities after the Department of Health and Human Services and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services received complaints of child abuse taking place there. In Abbott’s claim, he included the allegations of sexual assault, children not eating, insufficient staff, and failure to separate children infected with COVID-19 from others.

“In short, this facility is a health and safety nightmare. The Biden administration is now presiding over the abuse of children,” Abbott told reporters.

The governor said the current crisis was a”byproduct of President Biden’s open border policies.” He also went on to point towards the current administration’s failure to plan for anything.

Children at the facility are supposed to be either released to a sponsor or transferred to one of the Department of Health and Human Services’ longer-term shelters.

Abbot called on the Texas Rangers and the Department of Public Safety to immediately open an investigation into the allegations surrounding child abuse.
