Asking for a friend
the name was changed and they're now "Temporary Migrant Holding Facilities". that should fix everything
EDIT: I think it's "Overflow" instead of "Holding" but I don't have the stomach to look it up
Temporary
"This is the deal - it's just temporary. Temporaro. You just have to sit tight for about another year and a half when I have an electiono. If my party wins - then we will provide potential access to a possible road forward if such a situation is feasible. But - of course - then we got the 2026 mid-terms though so I wouldn't plan on the democrats doing anything before that. And after that we've got 2028 to consider too. Sorry, but you're not Whi— I mean Ukrainian - you know."
According to this website there are about 25k migrants in ICE/CBP detention right now, and previous reporting has indicated that about 1/3 of migrants who get detained are minors. Not all of the facilities that migrants are detained in have literal cages, but I'm sure that many do, so to answer your question, YES.
edit: and it just occurred to me that limiting yourself to ICE/CBP is pretty naive, since we know that Mexican authorities also run detention centers and some are run on military bases. I don't know if there's comprehensive reporting to show if the total number of detained migrants is trending up or down or what.
Heard they all got jobs at some local meat packing plants.
Didn't a bunch of them die in a fire last month?
Edit: Yup. Not in the US, but US-backed.

no, the u.s. government let them out and gave each one a crisp $20 and a heartfelt apology for the wacky misunderstanding
"Ope, haha, sorry there champ! Uncle Sam made a fucky wucky! Here, take this and be on your way. No hard feelings?"
"surely, you can't still be upset. we even paid reparations! now, to the fields you go!" :porky-happy:
No they're NOT CAGES, they're simply temporary migrant transfer/holding facilities 😤😤😤
I believe the average time spent in immigration facilities is lower and conditions where children are left without beds, blankets, or toiletries are less common. So the cages are now slightly more humane 🥰🥰🥰
Claim: The kids are still in cages
Rating: False
The Biden administration reclassified the cages as temporary immigrant overflow facilities. As such no children are in cages today.
They got moved to military bases with a history of child sex trafficking.
