White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Monday that the situation at the border has been a challenge, and as Twitchy reported, the U.S. government plans to use the downtown Dallas convention center to hold up to 3,000 immigrant teenagers. We’d learned from the New York Times last week that the number of migrant children in custody had tripled over the past two weeks to more than 3,250, “filling facilities akin to jails,” although Psaki wouldn’t confirm that report, saying simply that “it’s not our program” and to ask the Department of Homeland Security.
Now, Breaking911 is reporting that Customs and Border Patrol is holding more than 4,200 unaccompanied minors in “jail-like stations unfit to house minors.”
Breaking911 ~ JUST IN: U.S. Border Patrol are currently holding more than 4,200 unaccompanied migrant children in cages, which CBS News describe as “jail-like stations unfit to house minors”
The press is wondering when reporters will have access to these “jail-like stations,” and Psaki told them the White House is working on it, but they have to abide by COVID-19 protocols — even though they’re packed to 100 percent capacity or more despite CDC guidelines — and also protect the privacy of those in the facilities.
CBS News ~ @edokeefe asks about camera and press access to border facilities where migrants are being held
Psaki says DHS & HHS are "working through how to provide access in a way that abides by COVID protocols and also protects the privacy of people who are staying in those facilities"

Byron York ~ The Biden administration 'support[s] transparency,' but continues to deny the press access to facilities for migrant children.
DC United ~ Or Biden, himself.
True. They're desperately hiding Biden from the press ... in spite of the undeniable fact that 95% of the press are their willing sycophants.
D THEE K ~ Gotta give them a few months to clean up the mess before any tours can happen.
Drain Bamage ~ The administration's incompetence is showing. FEMA's involvement means it's a disaster.
Matt Brown ~ Or maybe because if images came out people might realize kids are being held in cages by Biden.
Jose Canusee ~ "We need to put lipstick on this pig before we allow the public to see what is going on."
Opi Nyons ~ Bullshit. They don’t want the world to see the reality of what they’ve created. You -the press- vilified immigration enforcement for 4 years. Now what?!
Bob ~ So we're only worried about following covid protocols for the american press but not the migrants currently overpopulating the internment camps? "Privacy"... their excuses are even more lame than their duck.
Today in Danistan ~ If the Trump administration had answered with this obstructive gibberish it would provoke howling and gnashing of teeth on every news outlet.
BrandyWine ~ In other words, no you may not see how bad it really is. Let’s get @AOC to check it out for us.
MarkOne ~ When will AOC go there?
Are they still being told to drink out of toilets?
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
