Release Date: May 3, 2021

DHS and HHS were left to rebuild the capacity to shelter and process the children, after having inherited a system that had been entirely dismantled by the prior administration. This infographic demonstrates the tremendous progress that DHS and its partners have made to safely and efficiently transfer unaccompanied children out of CBP custody and into the care of the Department of Health and Human Services.

Note: DHS has reduced the number of unaccompanied children in CBP custody by 88% since March 28, 2021.
