Hundreds migrant children are being moved in the middle of the night from shelters across the country to tent camps in Tornillo, Texas, according to a report from the New York Times. The move was made as a way to create more space for the increasing number of children being detained by the government.
Earlier this month it was reported that 12,400 migrant children were being detained by the United States, many of them coming into the country unaccompanied by adults. That number is five times what it was in May 2017.
Shelter workers anonymously told the Times that moves are done in the middle of the night to limit the likelihood of children attempting to escape once they find out they are being moved.
