Emergency sites in Texas for migrant children raising safety concerns

The Biden administration has stopped taking immigrant teenagers to a converted camp in Midland, Texas.

An official working at the Midland, Texas, facility said most of the Red Cross volunteers staffing the site don’t speak Spanish, even though the teenagers they care for are overwhelmingly from Central America. When the facility opened, there weren’t enough new clothes to give to teenagers who had been wearing the same shirts and pants for several days, the official said. And no case managers were on site to begin processing the minors’ release to family elsewhere in the U.S. Bringing in teenagers while still setting up basic services "was kind of like building a plane as it’s taking off," said the official, who declined to be named due to government restrictions.
