Washington, March 10 (RHC)-- In the United States, a record 3,200 unaccompanied children are being detained at U.S. Border Patrol facilities that resemble jail cells, with nearly half of them held for longer than the legal limit of three days. 

This comes as immigrant justice advocates are denouncing the Biden administration’s ongoing detention of unaccompanied children, who are being held at government facilities, separated from their families for weeks on end. 

The children usually arrive to the U.S.-Mexico border with a family member but are separated from them until federal officials confirm they’re relatives.
