NEW Docs obtained by the NYT reveal the BIDEN's efforts to shelter migrant children is squeezing funds. The WH this week allowed the HHS to redirect $850m to migrant care. Another nearly $850m could be available in the coming weeks. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/07/us/politics/migrant-children-shelters.html?smid=tw-share

The administration have celebrated the transfer of thousands of minors from CBP to HHS. But it has yet to solve one of the more troubling bottlenecks in the system at the border: quickly and safely releasing the minors from the shelters to vetted sponsors in the United States.

On Thursday, 775 children were released from government care, which is about 300 more than were being released last week. But docs show a need for more case managers to help move the children out of government custody. w/ @esullivannyt @lukebroadwater
