Former President Trump To Visit U.S. Southern Border

Former President Trump is planning to visit the U.S. southern border with other Republicans amid a recent surge in migrant arrivals.

Months after images of children in crowded border patrol facilities sparked criticism from both Democrats and Republicans...data shows migrant encounters still remain historically high while the number of unaccompanied children coming to the southern border has decreased. One of the main concerns has been how quickly the Biden administration has been able to move unaccompanied children from Customs and Border Patrol care into Health and Human Services facilities better equipped to care for them. Near the height of the crisis in late March, a 30-day average of 4,290 unaccompanied children were in Customs and Border Patrol care. By late June that number was 754 children. While the administration has been able to process unaccompanied minors out of CBP facilities more quickly….Today over 14,000 children remain in HHS care.
