White House press secretary Jen Psaki blamed former President Donald Trump’s administration Thursday for the growing migrant crisis on the Southern border.“We’re in the circumstance we’re in because not only was their approach inhumane, it was ineffective,” Psaki told reporters during her daily press briefing.The left has condemned President Joe Biden for reopening detention camps for the surge of unaccompanied migrants at the Southern border after the president restored “catch and release” policies.Since Biden won the 2020 election, a surge of unaccompanied minors has been apprehended at the border. In January alone, Customs and Border Protection took almost 6,000 unaccompanied children into custody.However, Psaki said Trump’s policies were to blame.
“We don’t feel that sending unaccompanied minors, kids, back to take a dangerous journey is the right step to take,” she said.Typically, the unaccompanied minors during the Trump administration were sent back to their country of origin on a flight escorted by law enforcement officials.The press secretary reassured critics on the left that the children in the detention camps were being treated humanely before getting released into the United States.“These kids have been through a trauma, we want to treat them humanely and make sure they are kept safe,” she said.
