MIAMI The Trump administration announced Monday that it is shutting down one of the largest U.S. facilities for child migrants, which had come under intense criticism because of its regimented conditions and the contractor's ties to a freshly departed White House official.
Health and Human Services said the decision to eliminate beds was to"ensure fiscal prudence." Last month, Jonathan Hayes, director of the department's Office of Refugee Resettlement, said the facility was costing $720,000 a day to run even when no children were left there. Democratic presidential hopefuls turned the Miami-area facility into a campaign stop this summer, when about 2,500 teens were held there. They attacked the administration for holding children in a cramped detention center run by a private company tied to former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly.
As Homeland Security secretary, Kelly first revealed the U.S. government was considering separating families who were migrating to deter others considering traveling north.
