while not present today, i'd also like to highlight the extraordinary work of health and human services and quickly expanding their capacity to receive unaccompanied kids. coordination has also improved across the interagency helping expedite the processing in placement of children at our southern border. the department of state has also been working to build the capacity of our neighbors to protect these children at home. their works include restarting the central american minors program which allows children to seek protection within their home country, rooting out corruption within foreign governments and overseeing investments into job training and other programs designed to help women and youth. however, i remain concerned with the initial delay of these efforts, which resulted in thousands of children being held in cbp custody for days and sometimes weeks. the department of homeland security saw signs of influx building as early as april of 2020. under the trump administration, the department apparently ignored these warning signs and chose not to build the capacity needed to safe
