Updated-Soboroff -About to go into Ursula centre in McAllen, Texas, one of the main detention areas.

Keep watching thread.

I’m in McAllen, Texas.

About to go inside the epicenter of family separations: the Border Patrol’s Central Processing Center — Ursula.

The most family separations are happening here and Border Patrol is going to show us around.

No cameras allowed inside. Stay tuned.

Trump’s family separation policy draws Democrats to the border. Story from McAllen, Texas, ahead of a visit by Sens. Merkley and Van Hollen and several House Dems this afternoon.

5. It is impossible to decently & properly care for frightened young children in these circumstances:

bed wetting, crying, little ones in need of comfort, fear/acting out. No - these centers are chaos. and personnel at a loss as to what to do - so they'll default to meanness and threats - just to keep control. There'll be predators - they will know where unprotected/scared children are.

6. The whistleblower on Hayes said also the kids acting out were then medicated.

That the staff was not trained nor equipped to care for the kids under the circumstances they found themselves in.
