What? The government shutdown is causing the concentration camps to close? Limbaugh and Coulter are not going to like it, send the kids to Gitmo to appease them .
Of course, no records as to how and where the “detainees” were dispersed to were generated. I mean there is a government shutdown, so no money for pesky record keeping, right?
the children who were held at Tornillo have been either released to an appropriate sponsor or transferred to other shelters
Like McAllen?
“It’s worse than it looks in the photos because you don’t see the wide shot of the kids in the cage by themselves and the numbers that we saw,” reported MSNBC’s Jacob Soberoff when Trump was in McAllen, Texas, visiting with border patrol agents and talking about border security last summer. Soberoff visited Hildago, Texas on the border Thursday.
Referring to the McAllen Border Patrol Processing Station, Soberoff described the facility from his summer visit:
“More people, kids were separated from their families here than anywhere else on the southern border. This is the epicenter. Diane Feinstein was saying 2,500 kids were separated so far. Eleven hundred of them were separated right here in this sector.”
“It’s sickening, honestly, to see little kids – they say 4-years old is the youngest that are separated from their parents,” added Soberoff. “Here’s the thing: … only four social workers were in there when we took the tour yesterday that have to care for these kids that are increasing in numbers on a daily basis when they’re separated from their parents.”
"Some children may be held for up to 24 hours before social services attends to them. They’re on their own,” said Soberoff of the 4, 5 and 6-year-olds.
I wonder how many of these kids were sex-trafficked and will never be heard from again.
Bastards. Unmitigated evil bastards.
Great that this facility is closed.
Horrendous that there is no verifiable information as to what happened to the kids since then.
Now they’re scattered and even harder to track down. And we have no idea what the conditions are where they’ve been sent.
And, if just the moral stench weren’t enough, that’s a quarter to half a billion dollars taxpayers will never see again.
“The shutdown is making us unable to be racist!”
Ha!
Oh come on ! They*ve just been moved to other Koncentration Kamps .
At first, I was heartened to see this headline and hopeful about the situation. But like most other things with this administration, even something seemingly positive is really a negative. It’s a hallmark of this administration, really.
In this case, it’s just the APPEARANCE of a problem getting better. The reality is that it’s just getting shifted around. A mirage at best…
Concentration camps for kids is not a hyperbolic description. And that’s just horrible.
