🚨 NEWS🚨 We got the government documents showing what detained children are being fed. Cold burritos, frozen sandwiches, and applesauce as a rare treat.

“Mothers would say, ‘my child can’t drink the water or eat the food, it makes them sick.’’

.@CBSNews reports a 6th migrant child died in U.S. custody, this one back in Sept. 2018, but never reported publicly, would have been the first migrant child death.https://t.co/uFMZuXGxSv

BREAKING: The Trump administration hid that a 10 year old child died in their custody at the border this past September – the first actual death.

This now makes 6 children who’ve died in their barbaric custody – after not having a single child die in custody the 10 years prior.

Border Agency Employee Tells Texas Trick-or-Treaters Candy Is Only For Americans

A sign posted outside a US Customs and Border Protection agency employee’s home on Halloween has sparked outrage in a Texas border town.

What is this now? Do they ask children for birth certificates? Sick and twisted racists.

President Obama: “urgent humanitarian situation” #MigrantChildren

Two female detainees sleep in a holding cell, as the children are separated by age group and gender, as hundreds of mostly Central American immigrant children are being processed and held at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Nogales Placement Center on Wednesday, June 18, 2014, in Nogales, Ariz.

CPB provided media tours Wednesday of two locations in Brownsville, Texas, and Nogales, that have been central to processing the more than 47,000 unaccompanied children who have entered the country illegally since Oct. 1.

They are sent to shelters for several weeks as the government tries to reunite them with family in the U.S. The network of some 100 shelters around the country has been over capacity for months and is now caring for more than 7,600 children.

It seems Central America is in a major crisis right now.

I listen to the news every day and haven’t heard what has lead to this sudden urgency in migration. I mostly hear about the chaos in Iraq on the news.

Does anyone know what is happening in Central America that would cause parents to send their kids alone. Have thousands of parents been kidnapped or murdered?

One would think that the U.S. would have an interest in stabilizing Central America. Maybe I haven’t heard about stabilization efforts because I’m not tuned into the right media channels?

Border Patrol Agent Commits Atrocities While On Duty

“Texas Border Region: The Southern Border Communities Coalition (SBCC) expresses deep concern over recent events involving Border Patrol agent Esteban Manzanares who is reported to have assaulted three Honduran women immigrants, left two for dead, and then killed himself. We urge that the victims be protected, regardless of immigration status and receive fair treatment as survivors.

The following are statements from SBCC members in Texas.

Astrid Dominguez, ACLU of Texas:

This incident is one more in a pattern of CBP abuses in our border communities. Last September, the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) released a report on Border Patrol use of force, which identified key problems with training. This followed revelations by the Government Accountability Office of significant incidence of misconduct within CBP. We demand that DHS conduct a thorough and transparent investigation of this incident, in parallel to independent review by external investigators and determine what policy and training enhancements are necessary.”

It’s the U.S.-Mexico border, not the Wild West

Now we have an idea why the U.S. Customs and Border Protection service was keeping secret an independent report of its encounters at the Mexican border. Because it has something to hide.

“…respond to rock throwing with live ammunition across an international border — on 22 occasions in 2012 — strikes us as excessive…”
