Elizabeth Warren blocked from entering children's concentration camp

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren was blocked from entering the prison camp for migrant children in Homestead, Florida on Wednesday—she hasn’t been the only federal legislator prevented from entering this facility, either—but described catching glimpses through fencing of detained kids in conditions she compared to a prison.

“There’s packed earth—nothing green,” she described in a video following her visit,saying that she witnessed children, in single-file lines, being moved from structure to structure. “No laughing. No playing. So I waved to the children. Some kept their heads down. Some looked our way and then quickly looked back down. Others waved but then put their hands down.”

Conditions at this privately run prison camp are atrocious, with kids forbidden from even writing in a journal and others faced with threats of prolonged imprisonment for rule-breaking. “I couldn’t tell what the guards were saying to them,” Warren continued. “But that’s not what kids are supposed to look like, that’s not how kids are supposed to act. These are children who are prisoners.”

Donald Trump and every Republican that aided or ignored this, are perhaps the worst criminals that have ever held power in this country. Justice demands that they spend the rest of their lives in prison.
