‘Advocates’ Want Unaccompanied Alien Teens Released from Custody

They call those being taken care of by the Office of Refugee Resettlement and its contractors “children,” but when you see the data only 15% in a recent year were under twelve and 71% of all those apprehended were boys. So, therefore, I refer to those being housed as teens.


Here is the story at CBS and not a surprise in light of the push to release all illegal aliens from detention because of the Virus Crisis.


3 migrant children in U.S. custody test positive for coronavirus

Three unaccompanied migrant children in U.S. government custody have tested positive for the coronavirus, federal officials said Thursday, highlighting concerns among advocates about the vulnerability of detained immigrants during the global pandemic.


The three minors, who are housed in a shelter in New York, are the first confirmed coronavirus cases among the 3,600 unaccompanied children in the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, or ORR.


In response to the outbreak, the refugee agency has stopped releasing migrant children in New York facilities to sponsors, who are typically family members living in the U.S.








Carlos Holguin of the.Center for Human Rights & Constitutional Law has filed a lawsuit seeking to release the teens from custody.

Officials also revealed on Thursday that the number of positive coronavirus cases among staff members and contractors at facilities for unaccompanied migrant children has grown to seven.

Coronavirus is particularly dangerous for older people and those with underlying medical issues, but children and young people can carry and transmit the virus, even if the risk of serious illness is relatively low.


Migrant minors in ORR custody crossed the southern border without parents or guardians, or in certain circumstances, were separated from them.

The announcement on Thursday is likely to fuel even more calls for the Trump administration to quickly release some of the tens of thousands of immigrants it is currently detaining, especially as the public health crisis to contain the coronavirus intensifies. On Wednesday, lawyers asked a federal court in California to require officials to release unaccompanied migrant children who have been in government custody for more than a month or transfer them to facilities where social distancing can be reasonably practiced.

If they want to keep the teens and the community safe they are better off keeping them in custody and not allowing them to mingle throughout city neighborhoods (interacting with the elderly!) that might not be taking the precautions that facilities supervised by the federal Dept. of Health and Human Services surely do about cleanliness.


Open Borders advocates never rest as they are, as usual, not letting a good crisis go to waste!

They need to be processed, loaded up on ICE aircraft, and handed over into the care and custody of the Military on their soil.



Any Americans that need to get back here, let them board the ICE aircraft to return them to America. Give us our monies worth on these flights! Even if they charge $100 or $200 per ticket.

Their military can house and feed them and give them medical care. Their military can locate their families back home and transport them back to their relatives.

Get them ALL off our soil and close these dentention centers down.

They are foreign citizens, they are minors, it is kidnapping for our government to keep them here OR release them to anybody! They are not a lost box of puppies we "keep". Send them home, this is outrages to not send these children home within 24 hours of apprehension.

They are their presidents responsibility.
