FEMA does this kind of stuff everyday.
Not.

From a blog post I saw regarding this.
FEMA is to be deployed in the event of a "disaster"
https://www.fema.gov/about/we-are-fema
FEMA’s employees are committed to serving our country before, during and after disasters. Every day more than 20,000 emergency managers work to make our nation safer, stronger and more prepared.
Is this an admission that it's a disaster, or a "challenge?"

As FEMA has grown and rolled up into DHS, the definition of "disaster" has broadened.

The jury is out as to whether or not the situation will get really bad at the border but it might be Biden’s first really bad call, with consequences. I can’t separate the rhetoric from the reality yet but WaPo saying Biden is ill prepared and caught off guard is telling.

A "staggering number" of migrant children detained at a Border Patrol facility in south Texas face overcrowded conditions, with some held for as long as seven days, lawyers who interviewed them on Thursday told CBS News.
Neha Desai, a lawyer representing migrant youth in U.S. government custody, said she interviewed children who said they were hungry, as well as minors who only showered once in seven days.
"Some of the boys said that conditions were so overcrowded that they had to take turns sleeping on the floor," Desai added, citing interviews with nearly a dozen unaccompanied migrant children held at the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) holding facility in Donna, Texas.
On March 2, the Donna complex was holding more than 1,800 people — 729% of its pandemic-era capacity, which is designed for 250 migrants, according to an internal CBP document reviewed by CBS News.
Most of the minors said they had only showered once while in U.S. custody, even though they'd been held for more than five days, according to Desai. Some said they had showered twice.

"In March 2003, President Bush creates the Department of Homeland Security in response to 9/11. It is the largest reorganization of government in 40 years, and as part of the process, FEMA is downgraded from an independent agency to a sub-department of Homeland Security. "
