Homan says he hopes Congress will increase migrant bed capacity
While speaking to reporters outside the White House, border czar Tom Homan said he was "made aware" this morning of migrants being released due to bed capacity overflow in Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention centers.
"We're looking for as many beds as we can get -- we just gotta hope Congress gives us funding to abide how many beds we need," he said. "We know they’re talking about that today, so hopefully we'll get a budget, we can increase the bed capacity."

However, he said he is "not worried" because "there are many ways to increase the beds -- capacity -- and that's what we're working on today."
"I was told that some were released because of some health concerns that we could not handle within ICE detention," Homan added, saying he has a meeting with ICE leadership later Thursday to find out more.
Homan also said ICE is "doing a great job," but they need to "do more."
