A recently leaked Department of Homeland Security document obtained by Axios revealed that thousands of migrant children are being held in Border Patrol surge facilities longer than is legally allowed — with 823 of them being kept in the cramped, cage-like units for more than 10 days.

Under current law, 72 hours is the maximum amount of time that a child is legally allowed to be in Border Patrol custody, after which they are to be transferred into longer-term facilities operated by the Department of Health and Human Services.
