🚨 It’s time to sound the alarm. 🚨

The CRISIS at the border by numbers, a thread:
The Donna, TX facility is designed to hold 250 people.

The facility currently has *5700* immigrants in custody, the majority of which are unaccompanied minors.
Contrary to what @PressSec says, there are no “CDC guidelines” in place.

Unaccompanied minors are packed together to the point at which the cement floor – where they sleep – is not visible.

No one is tested for COVID-19 *unless* they are showing symptoms.
Many children are left at the river with only phone number on their shirt or body.

Yesterday morning alone, the center processed over 1,000 kids who are all pending placements.📍
There were over 15,000 National Guard troops in DC in January.

As of yesterday, there are only 706 National Guard troops at the border.

Our @CBP agents are stretched thin.

34% of troops have been pulled off the border to babysit instead of protecting the front lines.
These are the very real and disastrous numbers behind the #BidenBorderCrisis.

The President MUST address the border crisis now and be held accountable for recklessly overturning policies that created this situation.
