John Kelly joins board of company operating largest shelter for unaccompanied migrant children

In April, protesters outside the nation's largest facility for unaccompanied migrant children noticed a familiar face enter the massive, fenced site in Homestead, Florida: former White House chief of staff John Kelly. Soon after, a local television station recorded footage of him riding on the back of a golf cart as he toured the grounds.

It wasn't clear why he was there, but Friday, Caliburn International confirmed to CBS News that Kelly had joined its board of directors. Caliburn is the parent company of Comprehensive Health Services, which operates Homestead and three other shelters for unaccompanied migrant children in Texas.

Prior to joining the Trump administration in January 2017, Kelly had been on the board of advisors of DC Capital Partners, an investment firm that now owns Caliburn.

The Caliburn board includes other former high-ranking military personnel, including retired General Anthony C. Zinni, Admiral James G. Stavridis and Rear Admiral Kathleen Martin. The company's portfolio includes work in a variety of defense sectors.

[Perseus]

3. Wow, what a low life, what a lousy person

I never liked him, I think that all he did during his time at the WH was keep his nose up the buffoon's butt. He is despicable, no doubt.

[YOHABLO]

4. Of all the jobs and boards they could serve on, these officers choose this one?

I wonder how much $$$ is involved for them. Certainly it's not for a 'humanitarian need'.

[not fooled]

5. Great

Helping loot the public coffers to enact red don's racist agenda. And making $$$ off doing so.

[lunasun]

[awesomerwb1]

8. Shocker.

[Red Mountain]

10. Wondered when that turd would surface

not surprising where, to say the least.

[angrychair]

11. Why are we calling it "shelter"?!?

IT IS A CONCENTRATION CAMP FOR CHILDREN.

children who are suffering indefinite detention.

Many with little hope of ever seeing their parents again.

That is what the racist trump sycophant Kelly is on the board of directors of: a concentration camp.

[FiveGoodMen]

18. Amen!!!

If I ran things, there'd be people on death row for what they've done to immigrants and their kids.

[lunatica]

21. Yeah and in the hottest deserts in our country.

[LiberalLovinLug]

16. hmmmm

The Caliburn board includes other former high-ranking military personnel, including retired General Anthony C. Zinni, Admiral James G. Stavridis and Rear Admiral Kathleen Martin. so, military concentration camps to include all the Commandants of the New World Order, charming.

[2naSalit]

[DeminPennswoods]

17. Nothing like making $s off cruelty

is there?

[BigmanPigman]

19. Fuck him!

Always knew he was a hate filled POS. Remember the widow of the soldier and the congresswoman that he wouldn't apologize to after he lied about their phone conversation? He is a racist and a misogynist and a traitor.

[lunatica]

20. What a real patriot!

Is he going to make the cage experience more military?

He’s a piece of shit.

[alp227]

22. so much for him being "the adult in the room" nt

[Puppyjive]

23. Military Junta

We need to be concerned with all of these corporations run by ex military members. They are sucking so much money out of our government. There are so many of them who get paid more than the highest offices in the country. They make more than our lawmakers and their influence is disturbing me. I am a veteran and I don't like what has become of our military and their attitudes.

[Honeycombe8]

24. Gee...I wonder how THAT happened?

This reeks. This really reeks.

[Evolve Dammit]

25. What scum. Profiting from misery and incarceration. Perfect for all GOPers.

[John Fante]

26. Turns out the "adult in the room" was a psychopath like all

the others.

[UpInArms]

27. I hope Kelly rots in a special hell

And then, I hope that eternity is a very long time

[McKim]

29. As a Retired Migrant Bilingual Teacher I am Outraged!

As a retired Migrant Bilingual Teacher I am outraged. These people have no shame and no morals.
Money is their god!

[treestar]

30. now we see the real reason all of those migrants have to be detained

indefinitely.

[sop]

31. Republicans would chase after a dollar bill blowing through the gates of hell

The guy couldn't land a cushy gig with some defense contractor making bombs or tanks? He has to make money caging kids? Kelly really is scraping the bottom of the (empty) barrel.
