Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) last week ordered state regulators to yank the licenses of facilities that house undocumented migrant kids.
The move was intended to stymie a Biden administration policy that contracts with 52 Texas general residential facilities to house approximately 4,200 migrant children. Those contracts required the facilities to be licensed by the state. The Office of Refugee Resettlement contracts with about 200 facilities across 22 states.
The order sparked speculation that it would force the closure of the Texas operations, but a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson said the agency does not intend to close any of the facilities.
