The installation for migrant children aged 13 to 17 in Carrizo Springs, Texas, has been criticized by many and seen as similar to the immigration tactics of the Trump era.

Psaki defended the decision and said the administration does not separate children from their parents.

“In the days of COVID, that meant that we had to open an additional facility so that we could have educational services, so that we could have legal services, so that we could have medical and health services and those children are treated humanely, until we can find suitable homes, foster care for these children, ”Psaki said.

The backlash for the proposal came from both sides of the aisle, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-CortezAlexandria Ocasio-Cortez Over 700 Migrant Children In Border Patrol Custody: Report Democratic Fury With GOP Explodes At Budowsky House: Cruz Goes To Cancun, AOC Goes To Texas MORE (DN.Y.) which tweeted that the installation “It’s not right, it was never right, it will never be right – no matter the administration or the party.

Psaki insisted it was not like Trump’s policy when McCain pushed it on the subject and said they felt it was the “best decision” during this time to “protect these children. “.

“These are kids going to a facility run by HHS. We had to open a new one to make sure it had the safe protocols in place to meet COVID and health and safety needs,” because we can’t have that many children in the old HHS facility, ”Psaki said.
