As the surge of migrants continues to flood the U.S./Mexican border, the Biden administration is struggling to provide basic accommodations for thousands of unaccompanied migrant children being held in multiple holding facilities along the border.
As of March 17, a record total of more than 13,000 children were in Customs and Border Protection (CBP) custody - often being detained days past the 72-hour legal holding limit.
Watch the video below and see the living conditions within these facilities for yourself. Massively overcrowded holding cells, limited access to sinks and showers, and a lack of floor space for beds just top the list of the unfortunate conditions.

And the worst part is, if nothing is done, the surge will continue and the kids will be the ones suffering most.
