HOUSTON (AP) — Border Patrol agents are detaining about 65 immigrant children at a station in South Texas in conditions that don't control the spread of the coronavirus, with limited social distancing and a lack of access to soap or hand sanitizer, immigration lawyers said Friday. A 13-year-old said in another affidavit that he is using the cloth mask he wore when he entered the U.S., Holguin said. Both teens said they don't have hand sanitizer or soap for hand washing. “If they don’t arrive with COVID, the conditions in these facilities are such that when they exit, they are likely to have been exposed to COVID,” he said. The youngest child at the station is 3 years old, a girl who is accompanied by her mother, Holguin said.
