Putting children in camps, separated from their families...



this is what Trumpistas call #45's "refreshing" approach to governing:




Journalists have gone in the Children's Shelter.....Say its hell, Full of Trump Murals. 

 Jacob Soboroff ✔ @jacobsoboroff 

"I’m a part of the first group of journalists to go into the shelter for detained child migrants in Brownsville Texas since the zero tolerance separation policy was announced. 1000+ boys here." 

"...finished tour, don’t even know where to start. One of the first things you notice when you walk into the shelter — no joke — a mural of Trump with the quote “sometimes losing a battle you find a new way to win the war.” 

 Presidential murals everywhere. But that one is 1st. ............... 

 Moments after we walked in a shelter employee asked us to smile at hundreds of detained migrant kids in line for a meal because “they feel like animals in a cage being looked at.” ..................... 

This shelter, Casa Padre, is the largest licensed childcare facility of its kind in the country. Nearly 1,500 boys 10-17 in here now. They’re supposed to sleep four to room. Nearly every room has 5. They’ve received a variance from the state because of overcrowding. /...................... 

 Kids here get only two hours a day to be outside in fresh air. One hour of structured time. One hour of free time. The rest of the day is spent inside a former Wal Mart. .............................. 

 Instructions to employees in the lobby of the shelter if you encounter media: 

 1) “Immediatelt notify PD,” or the police department. 
 2) Call the shelter communications director. In that order. For the record, nobody called cops on us. We were invited by HHS and the shelter. ...................... 

This mega-shelter is run by trained staff — a nonprofit. I believe the worker looking after these kids who said she’d like to see a day when they don’t have to do this. But things are moving in the wrong direction — capacity is 1497 and tonight 1469 boys will sleep here. ..................... 

 I have been inside a federal prison and county jails. This place is called a shelter but these kids are incarcerated. 

No cells and no cages, and they get to go to classes about American history and watch Moana, but they’re in custody. Coming up on @allinwithchris next. .................. 

They have Trump Murals everywhere......he does think he is Kim Jong Un......

This is a concentration camp...or reeducation centre.

"It is very Biblical to enforce the law."

So are they going to quit whining about enforcing the Equal Protection clause on homophobic cake shops? Or is it only Biblical when it's a matter of tormenting people disliked by the horde of knuckle-dragging Deliverance mutants known as Trump's "base"?

Infidel753, the Republican Party is the party of immorality and cruelty.

Hey, that's an hour more time outside than they get at the Colorado supermax.

Latest news is that Trump is thinking of erecting a "tent city" on a Texas military base.

Ducky: "Latest news is that Trump is thinking of erecting a "tent city" on a Texas military base."

Remember when Trump's "knuckle-dragging Deliverance mutants" (h/t Infidel753) lost their minds over President Obama's nonexistent "FEMA camps?" I haven't read one word by the Trumpistas about ripping babies, toddlers, and children away from their parents and putting the in detention camps. Not. One. Word.

Their silence means they approve of this monstrosity in American history.
