Child migrant facilities could be rebranded as ‘reception centers’: report

The Biden administration is considering rebranding the facilities it is setting up to house an influx of child migrants and families as “reception centers,” according to a report. 

Migrant detention facilities drew outcry in years past that the Trump administration was keeping "kids in cages." President Biden drew the ire of progressives when he reopened a child migrant facility in Carrizo Springs, Texas that was used under the Trump administration. The White House responded that the only other options were to turn children away or place them with unvetted sponsor families.  "These facilities are going up, but they're being utilized differently. The direction is very clear. Release them as fast as possible," one official told the newspaper.  CBP has started to release migrant families into the U.S., restoring the "catch and release" practice that was ended by the Trump administration.
