1,500 are on their way . Thats right, it will be about 2,300 this facility will accommodate and its been outfitted to do just that. So it is going to fill up quickly just based on these numbers and that is because of the sheer number of kid crossing the u. S. mexico border alone. Priscilla alvarez, keep us posted in dallas, thank you very much. The white house faced intense criticism in the last few weeks over its handling of the crisis at the border. Cnns arlet size is at the white house. What is the administration saying about this latest move . Reporter fred, were still waiting to hear whether the white house will comment on this latest move but it is very clear this is a humanitarian and logistical crisis for this white house and the administration, as more migrant, undocumented children are crossing into the border and many being housed in these facilities that are just not intended for keeping children for very long.

Killing george floyd. Chauvin is charged with seconddegree murder, thirddegree murder and seconddegree manslaughter after that video surfaced that sparked a social Justice Movement of Him Pipping Floyd to the ground with his knee for more than nine minutes.
