(Worthy News) – The number of unaccompanied minors detained at the U.S.-Mexico border has tripled in the past two weeks, as the Biden administration struggles to find enough adequate shelters for the children.

The number of minors detained at the border is now 3,250, with over 1,360 of them having been detained longer than the 72 hours permitted by law before being moved to a shelter, according to documents obtained by The New York Times.

The laws for unaccompanied migrant children are different than those for families or adults. Whereas families and adults can be turned away from entering the country, unaccompanied minors are taken into custody, held for at most three days, then sent to a shelter or with a government-vetted adult.
