On Tuesday, newly released data revealed that the number of migrant children held in U.S. Border Patrol facilities surpassed previous record highs and tripled over the past two weeks. More than 3,400 migrant children were apprehended at the border and taken into custody since the end of February. Comparing these numbers to when the 2019 border crisis was at its worst, there were only 2,600 migrant children in custody then – a drastic contrast.
