Migrant Children Detained In U.S. Facility See Mural Of Trump Quote About Evicting Tenants
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
At a facility in Texas holding more than 1,400 immigrant children, a mural of Trump stares them in the face. His featured quote, “Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war,” is from his book “Art of the Deal” and is in reference to his failed attempt to evict tenants from their homes in 1985.
At a Texas facility holding nearly 1,500 migrant children, a mural of President Donald Trump with a quote about his past attempt to evict New York tenants greets the children detained there.
On Wednesday, MSNBC reporter Jacob Soboroff joined other reporters in a tour of the Brownsville facility, which detains up to 1,500 boys, ages 10 to 17, who have been separated from their parents by the U.S. government. In the building ― an old Walmart ― administrators give children two hours of outdoor time, provide them with limited space within the facility and instruct them to go to bed at 9 p.m.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which runs the facility, released sobering photos that show the grim conditions. But one image in particular stands out: a mural of Trump with a quote from his 1987 book, “Art of the Deal.”
