Widespread hygiene problems at several US Customs and Border Protection facilities pose 'a great many health risks' for the children housed in them, one expert says
Widespread hygiene problems at several US Customs and Border Protection facilities pose"a great many health risks" for the children housed in them, according to Dr. Howard Markel, a pediatrician and director of the University of Michigan's Center for the History of Medicine.
In May, nearly 133,000 migrants, including more than 11,000 unaccompanied children, were arrested for crossing the border illegally, according to Customs and Border Protection data. Overcrowding at some US border facilities resulting from this spike in detentions could lead to a"health crisis," a team of doctors, lawyers and advocates warned last week.
