There's also this:
Number Of Children In Border Patrol Facilities Drops 84%
This doesn't mean that Biden didn't fuck this up at the beginning, or that public pressure wasn't the reason that he took steps. It means that he did what is president is supposed to do - recognize a failure of policy and change things to make it better. What he didn't do is blame the media for fake news, insist that the problem was his predecessor's fault, and baselessly claim that no one had ever seen a policy as good as his while doing nothing to mitigate the disaster.

Number Of Children In Border Patrol Facilities Drops 84%
Quote:As of Wednesday, there were 954 children in CBP facilities, down from a peak of 5,767 on March 28, the official told CNN, speaking on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak on the record...In recent weeks, the Department of Health and Human Services, which is responsible for the care of migrant children, has to accommodate minors. That's allowed for an increasing number of children being transferred out of border facilities to spaces equipped to care for them at a quicker pace.
The average time that kids are in CBP custody is now 28 hours, compared to 133 hours on March 28, the official said, a nearly 80% reduction in time spent in Border Patrol detention.
Quote:But sustaining the pace of arrivals will also require more licensed facilities and cutting down the time it takes to get a child to their sponsor, like a parent or relative. The administration has made some inroads on that front: The average time that children are being reunited with a sponsor has been reduced to 29 days, down from 40 days on February 22. Children being reunited with a parent or guardian is less, taking about 22 days.
