African and Middle Eastern migrant kids stuck in detention longer

Migrant children who enter the US illegally are placed in facilities overseen by the US Office of Refugee Resettlement. These are meant to be temporary stays - just long enough for the federal government to connect each child with a relative, sponsor, or foster home. But as Gustavo Solis reports from KPBS in San Diego, children from African and Middle Eastern countries are staying much longer than expected - and longer than kids from everywhere else.
