Family Separation at the Border: US citizens are now being detained

You know, they aren’t real children, and the parents/adults aren’t real people. They are illegal creatures.

They are criminals. Worthy of no rights of empathy.

I think the super Christian unindicted conspirator calls them animals.
 
Lol that anyone thought the oracle of the guilford county landfill would give 2 shits about baby’s in cages. M
 
 
Pure evil. Just pure evil. It sickens me that one of our parties is completely behind this policy. They’re so fearful of MS-13 which is barely a threat for most of them that they support separating parents and children victimized by MS-13.

This. 100% this.
 
Especially since the Trump administration hasn’t really done anything about MS-13 except kidnap kids and deport moms, dads, and spouses of US citizens.
 
Detention of Migrant Children Has Skyrocketed to Highest Levels Ever

Population levels at federally contracted shelters for migrant children have quietly shot up more than fivefold since last summer, according to data obtained by The New York Times, reaching a total of 12,800 this month. There were 2,400 such children in custody in May 2017.

The huge increases, which have placed the federal shelter system near capacity, are due not to an influx of children entering the country, but a reduction in the number being released to live with families and other sponsors, the data collected by the Department of Health and Human Services suggests. Some of those who work in the migrant shelter network say the bottleneck is straining both the children and the system that cares for them.
 
Trump could have done everything else perfectly, and he would still be an evil shitbaggy failure of a President for what he is doing to children and their families. Of course, he is a spectacular failure overall, so just add this as a despicable cherry on top.
 
Trump’s family separation policy was flawed from the start, watchdog review says

The DHS Office of Inspector General’s review found at least 860 migrant children were left in Border Patrol holding cells longer than the 72-hour limit mandated by U.S. courts, with one minor confined for 12 days and another for 25.

Many of those children were put in chain-link holding pens in the Rio Grande Valley of southern Texas. The facilities were designed as short-term way stations, lacking beds and showers, while the children awaited transfer to shelters run by the Department of Health and Human Services.

On June 23, three days after the executive order halting the separations, DHS announced it had developed a “central database” with HHS containing location information for separated parents and minors that both departments could access to reunite families. The inspector general found no evidence of such a database, the report said.

The inspector general’s report also found that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) restricted the flow of asylum seekers at legal ports of entry and may have inadvertently prompted them to cross illegally. One woman said an officer had turned her away three times, so she crossed illegally.
 
The database thing demonstrates how they will just make up whatever lies they think will get them through a bad news cycle.

This is the HHS Secretary testifying at a Senate committee hearing in June:

“There is no reason why any parent would not know where their child is located,” Azar testified at a Senate Finance Committee hearing this morning. Azar said he could locate “any child” in his department’s care “within seconds“ through an online government database.
