US: Yes, the U.S. government provides formula to migrant babies at the border, as required by law (Includes video)
KBMT – May 13, 2022
Two photos shared by Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Florida) in a tweet are drawing the ire of some social media users as many parents in the U.S. deal with the effects of an ongoing baby formula shortage. The first photo reportedly shows a shelf stocked with baby formula at a detention center for undocumented immigrants, while the second shows bare store shelves. The federal government is required by law to provide adequate food and water, including baby formula, for migrant children under the Flores Settlement Agreement, which was approved by a federal district court in California in 1997. The Child Welfare League of America explains that the legal agreement “outlines certain protection for immigrant children while in U.S. custody,” including a provision that prohibits the detention of children for more than 20 days.
