Despite pledges of “transparency,” the Biden administration has prevented the public from seeing any photos or videos from inside federal facilities where migrant children and families are being held in overcrowded rooms for longer-than-permissible periods — all amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Journalists and immigration attorneys have complained for weeks about being barred from the facilities that now house thousands of illegal migrants. And while White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday that the Biden administration supports “transparency,” she stopped short of saying when access would be allowed and deferred to the departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services.
