CBP says it's not low on supplies despite claims of 'appalling' conditions for migrant children

“It makes me feel powerless knowing there’s children taking care of toddlers and little kids,” Gabriel Acuña told the Texas Tribune. “Knowing what’s happening in your community and that you can’t give these kids supplies to clean or clothe themselves — it’s heartbreaking."CBP moved about 300 migrant children from the border station to a tent detention camp in Tornillo on Monday.

The official said allegations of inadequate food and sanitation were being"taken seriously" and being investigated.CBP said in a statement Tuesday afternoon that Border Patrol carried out existing contingency plans to manage the number of migrant children by expanding capacity in additional facilities in the El Paso sector.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that while he was"very concerned" about the conditions at border facilities,"it's in much better shape than it ever was."Daniella Silva is a reporter for NBC News, specializing in immigration and inclusion issues, as well as coverage of Latin America.Gabe Gutierrez is an NBC News Correspondent based in Atlanta, Georgia. He reports for all platforms of NBC News, including"TODAY," “NBC Nightly News," MSNBC and NBCNews.com.

I believe CBP.

Oh really and what did the fake news say yesterday

'Yeah, we're not running low. We never hand any of it out, so we have plenty in the cupboards...'

Send them back home where it’s safe and clean.

No they are not running low, they just denying supplies to kid because they are mean and callous

CrimesAgainstHumanity

No worries Congress is proposing support with 4.5 BILLION dollars! We all Americans have to provide clothes, food, shelter, lawyers, interpreters, ALL! Don’t worry about the millions of American kids that live in poverty!

So, we have the items in question but are withholding them?

So they have adequate supplies, but the children are dirty and hungry. CPS would have removed children in these circumstances. If the lower level people didn't report the abuse, they and supervisors are guilty of abuse

Yes, they are completely out of moral fiber, integrity, honesty but have an unlimited supply of apathy, cruelty, and BS.

If CBP is not running low on supplies then how do they justify the abuse of those children? I could imagine a funding problem but that does not appear to be the case. There apparently is no justification.

Punishment is the deterrent to them. They have the supplies.

Let's laugh.

And they keep turning away people who bring donations!!!

They’re not running low because there are NO SUPPLIES!!!!!

Per the article, this is complete and total mismanagement.

Can u believe these migrant families did this to their own children? Where do they come from that this is better?

OUTRAGEOUS!! WHERE IS THE UN?

Hey CBP - if this is true, let the media in to see the supplies. Prove it! After all isn't transparency the best disinfectant

So in other words, the suffering is intentional. Good to know.

Oh. So they’re being withheld by choice. Kind of like how they choose to keep the lights on all night. And they choose to punish kids for losing their live combs by making them sleep on concrete floors. I think these people might enjoy hurting kids or something.

Sounds like what CBP-ICE is running low on is decency and compassion. Shame on each and every employee of this agency.

Send them back!

So they're just not using the supplies?

So they just choose not to give them out.

so its on purpose?
