From the article: "Most of the children who have been detained at the southwest border have been channeled into deportation proceedings and, within several days, handed over to the Department of Health and Human Services, which cares for them until they can be released to family members or legal guardians in the United States.

The majority of the departments’ 100 or so shelters are near the border, but others are scattered around the country. At least two are in the New York metropolitan area, housing a total of about 300 children; they have been at capacity for months, advocacy groups said.

A spokesman for the Administration for Children and Families, the division of the Department of Health and Human Services that oversees the shelters, would not comment on the department’s current capacity or whether the agency was planning to expand regional shelter capacity."

Oh, I don’t doubt that it’s happening. Just that it’s an intentional attempt at C-P.

That they’re overloading NYC bespeaks a panic reaction to the inflow: they’re trying to stuff the kids anywhere and everywhere they can. I’m sure there’s some level of selective targeting to achieve payback (Arizona) or long term demographic goals (that little Conservative town in VA in the article this morning), but an attempt at C-P would bypass NY completely.
