Detention center photos: Where are the girls?

So far, the photos that have been released from the border detention centers do not show any girls. The Department of Health and Human Services hasn't been able to tell us where girls separated from their families are being sent. The Obama administration's former acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, John Sandweg, said Tuesday that sometimes, families separated at the border are never reunited. CBS News correspondent Mireya Villarreal speaks to a public defender who said he represents immigrants with no idea where their children have been taken.

Lawmakers denied entry at detention center

The number of undocumented children held in federal detention centers is growing. The Department of Health and Human Services says nearly 12,000 minors are living in its network of shelters right now. The majority tried to cross the border of their own, but an increasing number were forcibly separated from their families. CBS News correspondent Adriana Diaz reports on how two Florida lawmakers were turned away at a detention facility.
