Pence Defends Conditions at Migrant Detention Centers in Texas
Vice
President Mike Pence toured two Border Patrol facilities on Friday,
later saying they were “providing care that every American would be
proud of.”

Vice
President Mike Pence played down reports of overcrowding and unsanitary
conditions at two migrant detention centers in Texas that he visited on
Friday, but he acknowledged the gravity of the humanitarian crisis
unfolding along the United States’ southwestern border.
The
tour gave journalists covering the vice president a rare glimpse inside
a Border Patrol station near McAllen, Tex., where they observed nearly
400 men crammed inside a cage with no space to lie down and no mats or
pillows, according to pool reports.
Before members of the news media were ushered out of the
facility, some of the detainees shouted that they had been there for
more than 40 days, were hungry and could not brush their teeth. One pool
reporter described the stench as “horrendous” — some of the agents wore
face masks — and said it was sweltering inside the detention center,
which is less than 10 miles from the Rio Grande, the river that divides
the United States and Mexico.
“I was
not surprised by what I saw,” Mr. Pence said later at a news conference.
“I knew we would see a system that was overwhelmed. This is tough
stuff.”

Mr.
Pence was effusive in his praise of Border Patrol agents, whom he
referred to as “compassionate.” But instead of tamping down criticism of
the Trump administration’s handling of the tide of refugees, many from
Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, the photos and videos that emerged
from the tightly choreographed tour further inflamed critics.
The visit came 10 days after the release of a scathing report by the independent watchdog arm of the Department of Homeland Security on the poor conditions at migrant holding centers near the border. More than a dozen adult detainees have died while in custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement since the beginning of last year, according to the American Immigration Lawyers Association.
The
same day Mr. Pence visited the border, thousands of demonstrators
across the United States held protests and candlelight vigils to express
their opposition to the White House’s immigration policy. In Aurora,
Colo., protesters raised a Mexican flag in front of a local detention
center.
“It’s apparent that
@realDonaldTrump & @VP have very different definitions of humane and
compassionate than the rest of us,” Senator Mazie Hirono, Democrat of
Hawaii, said on Twitter.
“Let’s be clear: crowding hundreds of people in cages in sweltering
heat without showers or basic necessities is neither humane nor
compassionate.”
At the news
conference, Mr. Pence tried to deflect the criticism to Democrats in
Congress, calling on them to provide additional funding for more beds
for the undocumented immigrants detained by ICE. He also sought to
highlight his role in a $4.6 billion emergency spending bill that tries to address the border crisis; it was approved by Congress last month and signed by President Trump on July 1.
Michael
Banks, the patrol agent in charge of the McAllen detention center, said
in a news media briefing that the migrants had been provided three
meals a day by local restaurants, along with juice and crackers.
Because
of space limitations, he said, male detainees cannot have cots, but
they had been given mylar blankets that look like aluminum foil.
Crinkling sounds from the blankets could be heard by journalists, who
were allowed inside the facility for about 90 seconds.
Earlier
on Friday, Mr. Pence visited a cavernous detention center in Donna,
Tex., that can accommodate up to 1,000 people. It was built in May and
currently houses about 800 migrants, according to pool reports.
The
vice president was accompanied by the second lady, Karen Pence, and
three Republican senators: Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, John Cornyn
of Texas and Mike Lee of Utah. Mr. Lee helped interpret for Mr. Pence,
who had asked several migrant children questions in English, according
to a pool reporter.
When Mr. Pence
asked the children if they had food and were being taken care of, they
nodded and a few said “sí,” according to the pool report. But when he
inquired if they had a place to “get cleaned up,” the children shook
their heads.
Two children told Mr.
Pence that they had walked for two to three months to reach the United
States. He then said “God bless you” in English and “gracias,” according
to the pool report.

Several
Democratic presidential candidates criticized Mr. Pence’s appearance at
the detention centers. Among them was Julián Castro, the former San
Antonio mayor and a secretary of housing and urban development under
President Barack Obama.
Make no mistake, @VP, this is the result of your administration slashing aid to Central America and undermining the asylum process. You and Donald Trump share the blame. pic.twitter.com/LADGFR99RY— Julián Castro (@JulianCastro) July 13, 2019
“Make
no mistake, @VP, this is the result of your administration slashing aid
to Central America and undermining the asylum process,” Mr. Castro said on Twitter on Saturday. “You and Donald Trump share the blame.”
On
Friday, Mr. Pence excoriated one of Mr. Trump’s favorite targets, CNN,
calling its coverage of his visit to the detention centers “dishonest.”
“And
while we hear some Democrats in Washington, D.C., referring to U.S.
Customs and Border facilities as ‘concentration camps,’ what we saw
today was a facility that is providing care that every American would be
proud of,” he said, according to a transcript of his remarks in
McAllen.
