Today at least four sites remain open despite overwhelming evidence that these unlicensed sites are not appropriate for children and must be shut down immediately. "Emergency intake" and "influx" facilities represent detention, not shelter; they cannot possibly provide the care and support that children need and create conditions where trauma and abuse are more likely. It’s time. Nobody belongs in detention, especially children. The Biden administration must look beyond dangerous interim moves to address the systemic issues with how we receive and care for people arriving at the border, including by shutting down remaining emergency intake sites. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/close-emergency-intake-and-influx-child-detention-sites
