MIAMI (WSVN) - At least 10 children, including newborns, who were taken away from their parents after they crossed the U.S.-Mexico border are being housed in two Miami-Dade County shelters, U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz told The Miami Herald, Saturday.
According to the report, the children, who range from newborns to 5 years old, are being sheltered at His House Children’s Home near Miami Gardens and Catholic Charities’ Msgr. Bryan Walsh Children’s Village in Cutler Bay.
Wasserman Schultz cited a document given to her by federal officials when providing these figures.
This is the greatest assault on the standard of American decency. Newborns separated from parents are in immigrant shelters near Miami. #SeparatingChildren https://t.co/bR54vOJ9vp

A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services could not immediately confirm this information, but a spokesperson for the Cutler Bay facility confirmed to the Herald that they are housing migrant children separated from their parents at the border.
