‘PROTECTIVE MEASURES’ PLANNED FOR MIGRANT CHILDREN AT BORDER CROSSINGS: Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen told FOX News that she has asked the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to investigate what she said is an “uptick in sick children crossing our borders.”
She also wants the U.S. Coast Guard to examine the medical programs offered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the agency that detained an 8-year-old Guatemalan boy who died in Border Patrol custody this week.
The U.S. government’s system for detaining migrants crossing the border has been under strain, with the U.S. seeing a sharp rise in families with children.
Nielsen said that because of “bad judicial rulings from activist judges and inaction by Congress, we are seeing a flood of family units and unaccompanied alien children.” - Reported by Frank Miles
