(Dallas, TX) — Texas Governor Greg Abbott is demanding answers from the Biden Administration regarding the plan to house migrant teens in North Texas.

Abbott says White House officials need to reveal if teens are being tested for coronavirus, if they’ve been exposed to any variants, and if quarantine protocols are being followed. The governor also wants to know who will take care of the minors if they end up getting coronavirus. The administration plans to put around 3,000 teenage boys in Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas for 90 days starting today.

The moves are due to a surge of unaccompanied teens at the Texas-Mexico border. Abbott wants the DPS to have access to the convention center and other holding centers to find out if they are victims to human trafficking.
