A lawyer representing unaccompanied youth in U.S. government custody said some of the children held by the United States described crowded quarters and were not allowed outside.

Neha Desai, the lawyer, said that some of the children at a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facility in Donna, Texas, are being held as long as seven days before being transferred to Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) facilities.
