New Assignment for FEMA – children trapped at U.S. border

From the Huff Post, article titled Shocking Photos Of Humanitarian Crisis On U.S. Border Emerge. Some details from the article:

 Disturbing images of children warehoused along the border by the federal government emerged on Friday, posted by Breitbart Texas reporter Brandon Darby.

The haunting pictures show a system overwhelmed by children and families detained by Customs and Border Protection, reflecting a growing humanitarian crisis. ****

“The President has directed Secretary Johnson to establish an interagency Unified Coordination Group to ensure unity of effort across the Administration in responding effectively to this humanitarian situation.

This effort, lead and coordinated by FEMA, is quickly marshalling resources across the government to provide humanitarian relief to affected children. Addressing the rising flow of unaccompanied children crossing our southwest border is an important priority of this Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.

From the Christian Science Monitor, this article explaining the sudden influx of children.

Update on June 11:  See the discussion of this topic by the Secretary of DHS today.
