The government can accept donations from the public only under certain circumstances.
Surprise inspections by the Department of Homeland Security have uncovered “dangerous overcrowding” in facilities where immigrants are being detained at the border, leaving some Americans to wonder once again how they can help detained families and children.
The thwarted donations come as officials say they’re overwhelmed by an influx of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border and don’t have the resources to quickly process them. CBP officials have said they’re supplying children basic necessities, but they’ve also admitted that the children are in less-than ideal conditions, because they’re being held in facilities designed to handle adults for very short periods.
‘It’s always best to donate cash in a situation following a disaster or any type of crisis. It allows the charities to be more flexible in their response and adapt to changing needs.’ —Ashley Post, CharityNavigator Officials in California had to ask do-gooders to stop sending donations after devastating wildfires last year because they were “inundated” with generous but ultimately useless clothes and other supplies.
They’re only supposed to be in custody for a short period, but that doesn’t appear to be the case at facilities like the one in Clint, Texas, Cohn said. When a child arrives at the border, the Border Patrol has 48 hours to figure out whether they’re an unaccompanied minor. They then have 72 hours to get them into an Office of Refugee Resettlement shelter. Children are supposed to be released to an adult sponsor in the U.S.
