'We have to pass humanitarian aid to take care of these children. That is the nation we are,' McCaul said.
As the Trump administration faces growing scrutiny over conditions at detention facilities housing migrant children along the southern border, Republican Texas Representative Michael McCaul has spoken out, saying conditions are the"worst" he has ever seen.I've lived in that state, I've been down there throughout my 15 years in Congress and before that as a federal prosecutor.
In his own interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, Pence called on Congress to both dedicate additional resources to the border and"get to the root problems and loopholes" contributing to the situation at the southern border. Otherwise, he said, the DHS and HHS will not"have money to take care of these children and properly detain, house and feed them."
Meanwhile, last week a Justice Department lawyer attempted to argue that the government should not be required to provide basic hygiene products, such as toothbrushes and soap, to migrant children because such items do not appear in the Flores Settlement Agreement, which requires the U.S. government to ensure"safe and sanitary" conditions for migrant children in federal custody.
