ICE asks for volunteers to send to border 'as soon as this weekend' as south Texas migrant complex is seven times over capacity
More than 3,500 unaccompanied teens and children have been held in Customs Border Patrol (CBP) detention centers designed for adults in recent days
Most children are spending on average 108 hours in the cramped CBP facilities, DHS data shows, dwarfing the 72-hour limit
The official line from the Biden administration continues to be there is no crisis
Yet anonymous Biden officials warned Friday they do not have the capacity to increase beds to meet demand from the record number of migrants
The CBP detained or processed a staggering 100,441 migrants in February including nearly 10,000 unaccompanied children - levels not seen since 2019
ICE's Michael Meade called for 'immediate' deployment of available personnel to the border this week as he warned the influx will 'grow over the coming months'
Children at one facility in south Texas are going hungry and are only able to shower once every seven days as the center is at 729% of its legal capacity
When does the challenge become a crisis?
