Department of Homeland Security over the weekend ordered an emergency agency that usually responds to floods, storms and other major disasters to help care for a growing number of migrant Children arriving at the US Mexico border.

國土安全部週末下令一個通常應對洪水、風暴和其他重大災害的緊急機構，幫助照顧越來越多抵達美國墨西哥邊境的移民兒童。

The Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, has been instructed to help receive shelter and transport Children over the next 90 days.

聯邦緊急事務管理局（FEMA）已接到訓示，在未來90天內幫助接收庇護所和運送兒童。

The move signals the scope of a growing humanitarian and political crisis for President Joe Biden, who has reversed some of the restrictive border policies of his predecessor, Donald Trump.

此舉標誌著總統喬-拜登的人道主義和政治危機範圍越來越大，他已經扭轉了他的前任唐納德-特朗普的一些限制性邊境政策。

A spike in Children arriving without parents or legal guardians has exceeded shelter capacity, which was previously cut by 40% to limit the spread of Covid 19.

在沒有父母或法定監護人的情況下抵達的兒童人數激增，已經超過了收容所的容量，以前為了限制Covid 19的蔓延，收容所的容量被削減了40%。

Those shelter restrictions were lifted on March 5th, but only about 200 beds have come back, online and administration officials said Friday.

這些庇護所的限制已於3月5日取消，但只有大約200個床位回來了，在線和行政官員週五表示。

Migrant Children apprehended at the border are supposed to be transferred out of border control custody within 72 hours, but when shelter space is limited, they can get stuck in border detention centers for longer periods, as is happening now.

在邊境被捕的移民兒童應該在72小時內被轉移出邊境管制的羈押範圍，但當庇護空間有限時，他們可能會像現在這樣，在邊境拘留中心被困更長時間。
