    NEW: and I looked into the current situation along the U.S.-Mexico border, and found faith groups playing a major role. But here's the thing: some are struggling to help, bc their resources and staffing capacity were decimated under Trump.

    “I’ll leave it to politicians to wordsmith how they want to frame it. The bottom line is we need to address an emergency situation of unaccompanied children coming across the border who have been through so much and need our help now.”

    ICE continues to use taxpayer dollars to pay for empty beds, to the tune of $1,000,000 per day. Because of how it structures its contracts, the agency guarantees it will pay for a minimum number of beds whether they are filled or not.
