those 'cages' were used as early as 2014 by bummer
They are juvenile criminals under 8 USC 13.25 that are being processed before being released to the refugee office
By law since 2008, unaccompanied minors are transferred within 72h to the refugee office. So that's the longest a unaccompanied minor would be held in a 'cage'
the article also talks about 1,500 boys being housed in 'dorm like rooms' in a former WalMart 60 miles away in the 'largest facility', so bummers 'cages' are not universal
'They have been separated into three wings: unaccompanied children, lone adults and parents with their children. Officials said nearly 200 of those being held there were unaccompanied minors and another 500 were parents with their children.'
So the unaccompanied children were NOT separated from their parents
'The Los Angeles Times, which also sent a team there, described the 72,000 sq ft facility as "clean and spare, with bare concrete floors"
That detention center was used during a period of declining border crossings under Trump. If the dims had supported the wall and a closed border with legal crossings at ports of entry NONE of these facilities would be required.
Over 500k unaccompanied minors illegally crossed the border since 2013 mostly under bummer and Biden. When will you dims start calling 'unaccompanied minors'
