Jackie, you are incorrect. The facilities that house unaccompanied minors are the same ones used to hold these children. This is because when their parents were criminally prosecuted, those kids became “unaccompanied minors.” Please do your research in the future

10% of the children in this facility actually, so like 60. Listen before you tweet.

I should clarify this tweet - there are 60 children at the center she visited. 10% were taken from their parents (according to an administration official) - so six. Apologies for any confusion on that one.

No Jackie, this isn’t right. Children separated from their parents are then classified as “unaccompanied.” They do maintain records of which children ARRIVED unaccompanied, and which were RENDERED unaccompanied. Want to make sure people understand the process correctly.

"Taken from parents arms?" Kathleen Sebelius (HHS) & Ken Tota (ORR) literally put UNTOLD numbers of children into slave labor with zero oversight, no follow-up and no welfare visits for years. The Permanent Senate Subcommittee on Investigations told us this in 2016.

So that makes it right in 2018?
-
Our government taking kids out of the centers and placing kids into the hands of sex traffickers, child prostitution rings and making them work 12 hours a day for no pay? Because that's the opposite of what is happening now. You realize that, right?
-
I didn't accuse our government of anything, he just said that.

Show many anything where
@POTUS says we should take kids out of the detention center and put them into the hands of child traffickers, underage prostitution rings, or child slavery like Kathleen Sebelius did. I'll wait. -
He's the one responsible for this mess, now he twists feeble minds into thinking its anything other than the fault of his Zero Tolerance Policy.
-
It is ABSOLUTELY the fault of someone else. The immigration system laws in this country has been THE major sponsor of child trafficking, sex slavery and underage prostitution since 2009. Trump's zero tolerance policy refuses to release children into the country to "sponsors." 1/2

So he needs to fix it, he's the President in 2018. You think other's havent tried? They obstruced everything Obama tried to do, Trump said he alone can fix everything, so let him do it.

She will go to the centers that provide the best optics to support her husband’s agenda.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

This is an ill-informed tweet. HHS does not make a distinction between unaccompanied minors and those separated in terms of facility placement. Over 80% of the kids in HHS custody are unaccompanied minors so you will see similar ratios at most facilities.
-
It is not an ill informed tweet AG, it is a tweet specifically worded for outrage
-
Ok, I'm outraged.
-
Ok, I dont care
-
I noticed, you have no empathy for the kids. So I don't care about you not caring.
-
Lady, I have no empathy for your empty outrage
-
That's not what empathy is for, buddy.
