President Joe Biden’s administration is holding child migrants at the southern border for up to five days, in violation of an agreement that stipulates children should only be held at Customs and Border Protection facilities for a maximum of 72 hours in most cases.

“There were some delays last week because of weather and because some of these facilities to safely move these kids to did not have power and were not in a place where they could—they had the capacity to take in these kids and do it safely. That is not our objective; that is not our goal,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters in Washington.
