Surge of 13,000 Central American minors to US border expected in May
[Fox News] Customs and Border Protection officials are bracing for as many as 13,000 unaccompanied children crossing into the U.S. in May, according to a report.

"We’re seeing the highest February numbers that we’ve ever seen in the history of the [Unaccompanied Alien Child] program," a Health and Human Services official told Axios.

The record surge of migrant kids will require a continued expansion of the country’s network of migrant-child shelters, where capacity has already been reduced due to coronavirus social-distancing protocols, the report said.

HHS is working with the Pentagon on securing space on military bases, where overflows of migrants were housed in tent-like structures during 2014 and 2019, the report said.
