Congress will not act because they are being blackmailed - Dems can't vote for funding without the vanity wall. Thuglicans can't vote for funding 'cause then they can't blame the dems, plus they have a jones for torturing brown people.

Private industry will not act because they are making $700 per child, and they don't have to spend a cent, not even on soap. Wonder where they get the food? And, they can even reject donations if they want.

The courts have tried to act, but trumpco ignores them.

The MEdia will not act because if it bleeds, it leads.

Americans will not act because they are being gaslighted every day, every tweet. Thuglicans say things like "the children are free to leave at any time" and "it's just like summer camp".

IMHO, if you are not protesting the #trumpcamps in any way you can - streets, paper, web, phone, you are condoning them.

after yesterdayk's exposure of a Media Source in NYC pulling a Trump Story because of it might harm their President. Folks,it is Corporate Media and they rely on Profits over People and News.

Keep selling that Ad Space,Sales Department.
