The Clint Facility, meant for adults, has a maximum capacity of 104 people. There are approximately 350 children there now. The facility mentioned they expanded the site to hold a larger capacity. It was @CBP who confirmed the expansion was in the form of a windowless warehouse.

Some children told the doctor/lawyer/interpreter teams they have been at the facility for 3+ weeks and that they had showered only once. And had brushed their teeth once. The government knew the teams were coming 3 weeks prior and the facility knew one week prior.

Many children are reporting that they sleep on a concrete floor. They are given rough wool army blankets. The lucky kids receive two blankets, one for the floor and one for their body to stay warm inside the air conditioned facility. Some children report only getting one blanket.

There is a lice infestation & flu outbreak at the facility. Those suffering with either are put into isolation rooms w/ other sick kids... no adults. A child-mother & her baby were put into this room, until guards took her baby out & gave it to an unrelated child to care for.

One report stands out. A lice outbreak occurred in a cell of ~25 kids, where 6 kids were found to have lice. Guards provided them w/ 2 (!) combs & lice shampoo. One of the combs went missing & @CBP agents got so mad they took away their blankets/mats as punishment.

Nearly every child interviewed has a parent/relative in the United States & were coming to this country to be w/ them. Almost all came with an adult family member and were separated at the border by @CBP. The children were with parents/grandparents/aunts, etc and taken from them.

There is another report of a guard who made a 17-year-old immigrant the unofficial guard inside their room to keep the rest of the kids in line. Guards reward the older boy w/ extra food. A 7-year-old asked if he could help for extra food too & was chastised by the older boy...
