Government moves migrant kids after poor conditions exposed

By:
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Posted: Jun 24, 2019 10:21 AM MST

The U.S. government has removed most of the children from a remote Border Patrol station in Texas following reports that more than 300 kids were detained there and caring for each other with inadequate food, water, and sanitation.

****

Attorneys who visited the station in Clint, Texas last week said older children were trying to take care of infants and toddlers, The Associated Press first reported Thursday. Some had been detained for three weeks, and 15 children were sick with the flu.

It’s unclear where all the children have been moved. But Escobar said some were sent to another facility in El Paso.

Now you see them, now you don’t... Is there any reason to believe conditions in the new facility/concentration camp will be any better?

That seems very likely, given past performance. Some will just disappear and nobody will ever know what happened. I don't think they're keeping good records of these movements.

What's next? Child rescues, like at the dog pound?

"Oh, yes. This is our rescue child, Juanita. We have her do our cleaning."
