Texas has all the dirt on all the Southwest Key youth immigration detention centers online. You can read them for yourselves. The Texas site is pretty easy to use. The link takes you to the Southwest Key Texas facilities.
Click on the link below to see all of Southwest Key facilities violations and share this with people you know. I don't think most understand how bad this is.

The violations are visible at the bottom of each centers opening page. You will see the list with actual numbers of HIGH, MED/HIGH, MEDIUM, etc. violations. (numbers and words are in blue)
Click on the words HIGH, MED/HIGH, etc. to read the violations.
I focused on Cameron County because that is where the now famous, empty Walmart Casa Padre center is located. There are several other Southwest Key youth facilities in Cameron County, Texas.
Note that Southwest laid off 1,000 workers last year!

Did they move kids to make room for the new zero tolerance policy influx?
The violations include
failing to comply with backgrounds checks
filthy bathrooms
unlocked medication cabinets
unsupervised children
lots of incomplete/inadequate record keeping & reporting to parents
failure to medicate
unknown weapons...
The list is long.
The violations listings are for the years 2015 - Present.
Where are the freaking journalists? This is a classic journalism assignment. Facts, figures, empirical all online.
The violations are there, listed for each facility.
SHOUT THEM FROM THE ROOFTOPS.
These kids are endangered.
The top 3 Southwest Key officers have greatly increased their salaries from 2015-Present, as well. Lots of $$$ in non-profits.
The CEO earns over $740,000 a year.

He's creating a gang of sociopaths who will terrorize us or others in the future just so he can get more $$ for the wall and the bribes he's been promised by the vendor sycophants.

(37,648 posts)I'm concerned about kids being kept in kennels with other, older kids, too. There are bullies in every group of people. There's a big difference between 13 and 17, if they're keeping kids of those ages together without supervision of adults.
I'm concerned about both boys & girls, esp. the really little ones. The toddlers, who don't understand why mommy or daddy isn't there, with no one who loves them to watch out for them, comfort them.
I hope the ACLU and other organizations who are working to free this children are able to make fast progress. I would hate to see little kids in tent cities, in the scorching heat, without their loved ones to see after their welfare.
What sort of people would think this is okay? I imagine them sitting in their suits around a table, when Sessions comes up with this idea, and they all think it's a great idea. The horror. This is who is running the country.
