Tusla can speak for itself, but I was left with the clear impression, one that Tusla shares from reading the transcript of the justice committee, that this is a big concern for Tusla. Tusla is concerned with the number of adults it potentially has mingling in unaccompanied minor settings. It does not feel like it has the necessary capacity to carry out the age assessments that it is currently carrying out. Is that something that is on the Department’s radar?
