According to Nielsen, the inability to deport these children has resulted in hundreds of Central American children entering Department of Homeland Security custody each day and ultimately being placed with sponsors in the United States.
Nielsen also said she will propose measures to allow DHS to keep migrant families in custody throughout their immigration proceedings, as well as a plan for Central Americans to apply for asylum in their home countries.
