Abbott accuses Biden admin of 'not being transparent' about health of unaccompanied minors at border
Fox News
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott demanded Wednesday that the Biden administration allow state and local authorities access to unaccompanied migrant children in federal facilities to monitor COVID transmission and investigate human trafficking concerns.
"The Biden administration is not being transparent with either the governor of Texas or the Texas Department of State Health Services," the Republican said. "We need to know what the health situation of these kids are. We need to know if they've been exposed to variants of COVID." The governor added that the administration has not only denied access to data pertaining to the health of migrants in his state, but has also refused to share information that will aide law enforcement in arresting and prosecuting migrants that "are still involved with coyotes and smugglers."More Related News
