Their task was to ensure an elevated standard of care in response to the current humanitarian crisis.
“Think about the migrant [who] just traveled hundreds of miles, at the very least, in less than humane conditions,” he said. “What CBP is doing is providing a safe environment with a level of comfort, processing them, and moving them through the system as quickly as possible. CBP is committed to providing the most effective, efficient, and humanitarian solution possible, in as little time as possible.”
