The war between Texas Governor Greg Abbott and the Biden administration is escalating. On Monday, a lawyer for the Department of Health and Human Services threatened legal action against the state of Texas if Abbott does not back down from his plan to de-license Texas shelters housing migrant children on behalf of HHS. Approximately 4,000 children are currently housed in 52 state-licensed shelters run by the Office of Refugee Resettlement. If Abbott makes good on his promise to revoke their accreditation, those children would be forced back into already overcrowded emergency shelters that lack the resources and training to care for them.
