Eleven thousand migrant children, many held under dire conditions in adult jail cells along the Texas border, including the sprawling processing center in Donna, Texas, are in the custory of border-control agents. Despite The Biden Administration's mantra of transparency, the accredited news media, including the White House press corps, has been barred from access to the overflowing child-holding facilities. Inside, children are jammed together, many sleeping on the floor, allowed showers once every seven days, while awaiting reunions with parents and relatives.

Former President Trump allowed limited media access to border holding facilities, only to show off imposed wretched conditions. Where is your promised transparency, President Biden?
