Families are being charged high fees and forced to deal with various bureaucratic hurdles to transport children from migrant shelters, according to a report from The New York Times.
The publication spoke to various family sponsors trying to obtain the release of migrant children being detained by federal immigration authorities but facing a series of obstacles, including fees of hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
The documents include proof of income, rent records and utility bills.
After providing the documents, many families have been burdened with having to pay thousands of dollars in airfare.
