Because they arrived in the U.S. without parents or legal guardians, those children were placed in the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement, which houses unaccompanied minors, including those processed along the U.S.-Mexico border. In March, a 4-year-old girl from Honduras died after being hospitalized for cardiac arrest in Michigan.
HHS houses unaccompanied children who don't have a legal immigration status in the U.S. As of Wednesday, the agency was housing 5,922 unaccompanied minors, most of whom tend to be Central American teenagers fleeing poverty and violence, government records show. The government houses these unaccompanied minors until they turn 18 or can be placed with a U.S.-based sponsor, who is typically a family member. However, many unaccompanied Afghan children have remained in shelters and foster homes for prolonged periods since their family members have been killed or are stuck in Afghanistan. The Biden administration said it has prioritized the resettlement of Afghan refugees with children in the U.S.

Tourist sub customer calls his 2021 dive to the Titanic a 'kamikaze operation'As an international search continues for a vessel that disappeared on its way to the underwater wreckage of the Titanic, a man who was one of the submersible company's first customers says a dive he made to the site two years ago was a “kamikaze operation.'
