The Trump administration is reportedly housing migrant youth in a Pennsylvania juvenile prison with a documented history of allegations of staff abuse towards children.

In August, the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which oversees unaccompanied migrant children, awarded $9 million to Abraxas Alliance to hold up to 30 migrants deemed dangers to themselves or others at Abraxas Academy, a facility in Morgantown.

Since October, between five and eight migrant teen boys have been held in a wing of the facility, a Washington Post investigation found. Some have parents or relatives in the U.S., according to an attorney from the National Center for Youth Law who visited the facility in November.

The facility has a troubling history, the paper found.Between 2013 and November 2025, state inspectors reportedly documented at least 15 incidents in which they said staff physically mistreated children, including at least two incidents where staff were accused of sexually harassing the detainees.
