The Australian government announced on Feb. 3 that there will soon be no children held in its immigration detention camps on the Pacific island of Nauru.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison said in a statement that the final four asylum-seeker children in the Australia’s offshore processing camps on Nauru have all had their claims to be resettled in the United States processed.
