Former CBP press secretary Corry Scheirmeyer weighs in on the White House denying access to migrant detention centers.<\/p>\n
White House officials are joining a congressional delegation on Wednesday to visit a migrant facility on the U.S. southern border, as President Biden and Vice President Harris come under heightened scrutiny for not yet making the trip as the administration handles a surge of migrants crossing into the U.S.<\/p>\n
The White House said that officials will join members of Congress Wednesday in visiting the Office of Refugee Resettlement Carrizo Springs Influx Care Facility, located in Texas.<\/p>\n
The White House said it would allow one video camera into the facility to accompany the visit, after being hit earlier in the week for not providing access to the media inside the migrant holding centers.<\/p>\n
White House officials said the Biden administration is “committed to transparency” and will continue to work with the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Health and Human Services to create avenues for media access to the facilities, as well as access for members of Congress.<\/p>\n
Biden and Harris have yet to schedule a visit.<\/p>\n
While taking questions from reporters outside of Air Force Two on Monday, Harris was asked if she had “plans to visit” the southern border as the immigration crisis continues to develop.<\/p>\n
The vice president responded to the query with a “Not today” before laughing. She said that she had visited before and that she probably would go back.<\/p>\n
