In the video, NowThis claims that an ICE spokesperson told them that “ICE facilitated the transfer of custody of a small group of unaccompanied teens for (the Office of Refugee Resettlement) for placement at a facility in NYC.”

“ICE is required by law to transfer custody of unaccompanied children within 72 hours of apprehension. ICE is working with ORR to make placement decisions that take into account the ongoing pandemic.”
