The acting ICE director acknowledged that migrant children are being housed in “unsafe” conditions at the border but blamed congressional Democrats for holding up funding that would allow the administration to correct the situation.

“It’s pretty simple to me: If you want to get kids out of these unsafe conditions, then pass the darn supplemental. Fund Health and Human Services and we can get the kids where they need to be,” Mark Morgan told “Fox & Friends” during an interview Tuesday.

House Democrats have been debating a $4.5 billion emergency aid bill that would strengthen protections for children being held at the border, including providing more health care.

A vote could come as soon as Tuesday.

President Trump over the weekend postponed a series of Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in 10 major cities to deport thousands of illegal immigrants scheduled to begin Sunday.

He gave Congress two weeks to come up with a solution to the border crisis or the deportations would begin.

Morgan, who was appointed to lead ICE by Trump in May, said leaks of the planned raids put agents’ lives “at risk.”

“Detailed information about the operation was leaked and that’s egregious. The operation was compromised and when that happens, the lives of agents and officers are absolutely put at risk,” he said.

Reports said that acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan, who opposed the raids, leaked the plans in an effort to scuttle the operation.

McAleenan denied the reports.

Morgan said there is a humanitarian and a national security crisis at the border.

“We need funding to cover both sides of this crisis. We absolutely need it for the children for HHS for the bed space, but ICE needs it, CBP needs it to handle the humanitarian crisis and the national security crisis,” he said, referring to Customs and Border Protection.

Asked about reports that said migrant children have been held in unsanitary conditions without adequate food, clothes, toothpaste or soap, Morgan said “there is absolutely some truth to that.”

“The Border Patrol stations, they were designed for [to hold] adults only for a few hours and be removed,” he said. “They are overcrowded. They’ve got hundreds of children in there.”

Morgan said the administration doesn’t want the children living in those conditions.

“We want to get them out of there, but we need funding so HHS can get the adequate bed space,” he said.
