Hungry, Scared and Sick: Inside the
Migrant Detention Center in Clint, Tex.
Outbreaks of scabies, shingles and chickenpox were spreading among the hundreds of children who were being held in cramped cells, agents said. The stench of the children’s dirty clothing was so strong it spread to the agents’ own clothing — people in town would scrunch their noses when they left work. The children cried constantly. One girl seemed likely enough to try to kill herself that the agents made her sleep on a cot in front of them, so they could watch her as they were processing new arrivals.

This is the NYT and they fired back at drumpf about his lies
Trump tweeted that “The Fake News Media, in particular the Failing New York Times, is writing phony and exaggerated accounts of the Border Detention Centers.” He then went on to insist that he’s providing “care” for the immigrants he’s kidnapped and illegally imprisoned. As it turns out, the New York Times wasn’t about to let Trump get away with his lies. https://www.palmerreport.com/analysis/new-york-times-fires-back-trump/19181/
