Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : ""U.S. Customs and Border Protection is reviewing the court's order.
55% : CBP will continue to transport vulnerable individuals and children encountered on the border to its facilities as quickly as possible," a CBP spokesperson said in a statement.
52% : Gee concluded Wednesday that CBP should not hold minors in or direct them to "open-air sites, except for the amount of time DHS reasonably requires to prepare the minor and/or actively arrange for transport of the minor to a more suitable facility, as this behavior constitutes unnecessary delay.
49% : Judge Dolly Gee wrote that US Customs and Border Protection does maintain legal custody over the minors in the open-air detention sites and has "decision-making authority over the health and welfare" of the children at those sites.
45% : In a court document filed in late February, children's rights attorneys argued that federal immigration officials directed migrants to those camps but failed to provide adequate food, water, shelter, and medical services.
41% : The Biden administration, however, argued that the minors had not been arrested by CBP and were therefore not in the legal custody of the agency.
