The same day the federal government missed a court-imposed deadline to reunite roughly 84 children under the age of 5 with their families after being forcibly separated from them at the U.S.-Mexico border Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar appeared on CNN to defend how his agency has handled the recent immigration crisis.
We have nothing to hide about how we operate these facilities, Azar told CNNs Wolf Blitzer Tuesday night, referring to the juvenile and tender age facilities in which many of the separated children are currently being detained, which HHS officials have barred media outlets and public figures from filming or visiting unannounced.
Speaking to the conditions in which the children are being held, he added, It is one of the great acts of American generosity and charity, what we are doing for these unaccompanied kids.
