Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra denied claims by North Carolina officials who said the Biden administration was seriously considering opening an emergency facility to house unaccompanied migrant children in the state.
Rep. Richard Hudson, a North Carolina Republican, asked Becerra in a hearing before the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Wednesday about a
Washington Examinerreport that the Biden administration had reached out to Greensboro officials about housing as many as 800 children at a boarding school property in a residential neighborhood.
“There is no plan that we have to show for children in North Carolina. We are always looking for sites where we can provide the type of safety and security that children need, and we have sites throughout the country, but there is no plan I can tell you right now to shelter children in North Carolina,” Becerra said.
