The Department of Homeland Security on Monday shared more images from inside the migrant facility in Donna.
What was once a facility overflowing with unaccompanied migrant children barely a month ago is now almost empty.
In March, U.S. Customs and Border Protection had a high of almost 6,000 kids in custody. On May 1, CBP reported they had less than 700 kids in custody
DHS touted the reduction of children in custody to the opening of 14 facilities with FEMA assistance since March 13, as well as more than 350 caseworkers trained and mobilized to help place the children with a verified family member.
