Federal officials have removed migrant children from a shelter facility in Westchester County, New York, following complaints about their treatment.

The action came after federal authorities received multiple complaints regarding the conditions and treatment of children and adolescents housed at the facility. The nature and specific details of the alleged mistreatment have not been disclosed.

The shelter was housing unaccompanied migrant minors, who are typically placed in facilities overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement while their immigration cases are processed.

Federal officials have not released information about where the children have been relocated or how many were affected by the facility closure. The investigation into the reported conditions at the Westchester County shelter remains ongoing.
