    This is just insane. The administration is taking children away from their parents. Putting them in de facto orphanages (at best). And then refusing to give information to the press or the public about where they are. https://wapo.st/2MG6AJM

        These children are taken from their parents. Often, the parents have no idea when they’ll see them again. And then they’re just put into these secret facilities?!

        These facilities are funded by taxpayer money. What you mean we can't see inside?! The court better put an injunction to stop this until facilities receive regular inspection & DHS develops the capacity to reunite children with their parents.

        Or even the parents! They've admitted to losing a few babies here and there.

        They aren’t even keeping track of the parents. They won’t get their kids back.

        These camps are unbelievably expensive too! The CEO of one of these companies, a supposed nom-profit , made over $700,000 last year. Wow! You should see the $$ being spent on this. I’m sure the books and records are legit though.

        Seriously...this is so crazy. Coming from the US, it's even more astonishing that basic human rights are not being considered.

        The great irony is that one of these shelters is close to Orphanage Road in Combes, Texas. The road never got the orphanage because the developer absconded with the money. Looks like Orphanage Road will finally get one. Wonder if Trump will claim that as a victory
