Democrat Accuses Biden Of Misleading Americans

Rep. Henry Cuellar called out the photos released last week by the Department of Homeland Security of a center in Donna, Texas, that portrayed a dramatic reduction in the number of unaccompanied minors compared to the packed centers just a few weeks ago.

Cuellar said the kids are in other facilities operated by the Department of Health and Human Services.

"All they’re doing is they’re moving kids from one tent to the other tent and saying, ‘Oh, they’re not in the Border Patrol (custody),’ but they’re right next door," Cuellar told the Border Report on Wednesday.

"They're just next door in HHS."

DHS acknowledged in a statement that the children are in the custody of HHS but would not say where they are being held.

Another Democrat, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, said it’s clear that the administration isn’t doing enough to stem the tide of migrants coming to the border.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki, speaking at Tuesday’s briefing, said the amount of time children spend in Customs and Border Patrol facilities have fallen 75 percent — from 131 hours since the end of March to under 30 hours now.

She also said there were more than 5,000 children in CPB centers at the end of March, a number that has dropped to 600 now.
