When asked at a media briefing Monday where the girls and toddlers who've been separated from their parents at the border are being held, Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen said she didn't know, and referred questions to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

I can't believe this is America in 2018. Just horrifying.

I am worried for the girls and the danger they could be in by American officials due to physical and sexual abuse and possible trafficking.
