"HELL IS FOR CHILDREN; dear Mr. Jesus"
A 16-year-old girl said she and her baby were so cold and wet that they got sick.
"We slept on mats on the floor and [they] gave us aluminum blankets. They took our baby’s diapers, baby formula, and all of our belongings. Our clothes were still wet
and we were very cold, so we got sick… I’ve been in the US for six days and I have never been offered a shower or been able to brush my teeth. There is no soap and our clothes are dirty. They have never been washed." More true stories here: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/claudiakoerner/children-border-detention-conditions-immigrants-hungry
