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

Hard to think of anything that reflects the GOP attitude toward Latinos like taking money from FEMA as a hurricane is about to hit Puerto Rico to make more room to jail South and Central Americans.
 
 
 
And it may be retroactive. Meaning children who have been US citizens for 17 years will have to become naturalized citizens and I assume won’t be eligible to run for President.
 
Government watchdog: Separations caused trauma on migrant children

During the family separation crisis last year, Health and Human Services facilities struggled to provide adequate mental health care to migrant children as required under the Flores agreement, according to a new agency watchdog report.

Why it matters: Many of these migrant minors had already faced signifiant trauma in their home countries and in their travel to the border — such as physical abuse, kidnapping, rape and other forms of violence, according to the report. In addition, child migrant care facilities told the Inspector General (OIG) "addressing the unique mental health needs of separated children was particularly challenging."

Key quotes: "Separated children exhibited more fear, feelings of abandonment, and post-traumatic stress than did children who were not separated. Separated children experienced heightened feelings of anxiety and loss as a result of their unexpected separation from their parents..."

"Children who did not understand why they were separated from their parents suffered elevated levels of mental distress."

"The level of trauma and unique experiences of separated children made it more difficult to... address children’s mental health needs."


The report also found that the uncertainty and chaos surrounding the reunification process added to migrant children's emotional distress.

One child was moved to a different care facility to be reunited with her father, but "after the child made several trips to the detention center, she was returned to the Florida facility 'in shambles' without ever seeing her father."

What to watch: Dozens of migrant parents are preparing to sue the U.S. government, claiming their children were harmed while in HHS custody during family separation, the AP reported last month. It found taxpayers could end up having to pay $200 million in damages.
