One more thing. If you are angry as I am and want to do something. Feel free to take the anger out at Child Separator
@DHS_Wolf. He for sure checks his tweets.Show this thread -
I am beyond angry at this right now, so let me tell you more about this. According to some of the attorneys who work with these families, the testing was insane. They asked the mothers to take a normal q-tip & put it in their nose & for the moms to do it to the children as well.

Fams tested for COVID19 are put in quarantine. At one of the detention centers, quarantine means mother and children held in one cell, with father held alone in another cell. The family can only see each other once per day for 30 minutes.

They must stay in their cells at all times except for those 30 minute periods. It is essentially solitary confinement.

One more fact. Average time families remained detained: 100 days. That's over 3 months of children living in prison like conditions. Yes, children are still in cages. They look different than the ones we've seen on TV, but they are still cages.

Another fact. Most of the families at Karnes and Berks family detention centers are from Haiti. Please follow
@HaitianBridge to support the work that they do to keep Haitian asylum seekers safe. Yes, Immigration is a Black issue.#BlackLivesMatter

UPDATE: On Friday, a U.S. District Judge ruled that children detained for more than 20 days at the detention centers be released no later than July 17. However, the ruling only applies to children, and not their parents. Family separation 2.0 can happen again! We need your help.
