(3,765 posts)How many guards these places have and how they are armed. If say the city of El Paso or Houston or wherever decided that the detention centers were abusing children and sent an army of police there and attempted to arrest everyone what would happen?

A group mostly made up of mothers and grandmothers was started after audio recordings were leaked by ProPublica from a U.S Customers and Border Protection facility.
Samara Hayley Steele, who is part of the group called 'Solidaridad con los Niños,' said it they decided to start 'caravaning' to different facilities they believed were housing migrant children separate at the border.

(63,221 posts)A concrete floor and an aluminum blanket - not even a REAL blanket or pillow!! No toiletries, no clothes, no laundry services, no healthcare, no amusement or entertainment - NOTHING! $700 per child per day of taxpayer money is going into republican contractor's coffers and these children are being treated worse than animals!
This is a fucking outrage! This needs to be stopped - everyone needs to know exactly what is going on here. Not only how horribly these children are being treated, but how the republicans are using this situation as just another scam to funnel money into their own pockets.

(6,556 posts)They seem to be the most active group defending the children at the border. Those children are my new mission in life! I have spent my whole life working with children in one capacity or another. I am not giving up now!

(41,991 posts)Personal note. My 2 year old adorable, bright, funny, loving, sensitive grandsons birth mother is Mexican American. He looks very much like those babies they are torturing. Imaging what it would do to him and IS doing to them is hurting me more than is good for me.
And Im a retired therapist that knows a lot about child development and attachment. These innocents will never be the same. Some will do better than others but all are fundamentally changed.

(36,890 posts)The Pentagon has billions of 'spare' dollars that Trump wanted to take for his wall.
Yet Trump cannot find money for soap and toothpaste for children in his concentration camps.

We can help these children get the help they deserve. And we can send a message to the administration that we won't stand for this. We just wont. #CloseTheCamps

Since yesterday, we've raised over $220,000 together for groups helping kids and families at the border.
Thank you so much.
Can we get to $250,000 today? https://secure.actblue.com/donate/kids-and-families-border?refcode=062419tw

We can help kids and families at the border
Two children have died in U.S. custody at the border. Let's not stop at feeling heartbroken. Let's mobilize to help.

(15,552 posts)I've been feeling so helpless and now at the very least I can send some money.
Hillary has always been an avid supporter of children. Great God Almighty, why oh why were we deprived of her as our President and ended up with this awful, awful family and their enablers in our Capitol?

(14,990 posts)because Trump and these DHS ghouls would block the kids from receiving those toiletries anyway. It isn't a matter of money and never has been. It is sadism through and through.

(6,139 posts)this goes beyond high security prisons and truly a definition of concentration camp which may turn into death camp after starvation and spread of decease. Infants and toddlers may be the first one to go. Since there is no accountability or even precise count, we wont even know when someone dies.

(63,919 posts)I would bust through those doors, tRump and his regime are committing crimes against humanity. Calling African "Shitholes" can you imagine what they are calling these children and their families??? They are not animals.
We have a sick sick POS in that WH. Walking around in a suit doesn't mean shit, tRump is a vile POS.

(52 posts)and Trump runs to Camp David to be alone? Then, goes golfing? Impeach, now! We have animal cruelty laws that would put these guards in jail! I DO care. I am sick of this. Why aren't there large, loud organized protests? Or, am I missing something?
