HHS Secretary Alex Azar says that the U.S. government has nearly 3,000 separated migrant children in custody. Last week Azar told a Senate panel there were 2,047 migrant children in custody. https://t.co/0jtdpLpXMn

We need to Abolish ICE.

They've abused people in their care (33,000 instances of abuse between 2010-2016)

In the last few weeks they've proven to be completely useless, they can't even reunite families.

It's a failed organization that costs us billions ($6bn in 2016).

CoreCivic has placed profits above people by forcing detained immigrants to perform manual labor for next to nothing. It has padded its pockets by violating anti-trafficking laws. We filed suit.https://t.co/xrhLOcemOj

New: DOJ filed papers in Flores (where there is a 1997 settlement limiting immigration detention of kids) saying they interpret the recent injunction re: separations to mean they can detain families together for longer periods AND still comply with Flores https://t.co/8YExko9Ogf pic.twitter.com/lherut5Kvg

The U.S. is firing live ammunition at unarmed (im)migrants / refugees. This is not even legal or moral to do to an animal.

The Real Death Valley: The Untold Story of Mass Graves and Migrant Deaths in South Texas

Video: Graphic Warning

A Weather Channel Original Documentary

Producer’s Note, by Solly Granatstein

In “The Real Death Valley,” we tell the story of Fernando Palomo, a 22-year-old Salvadoran who happened to be a talented artist, and who was beaten within a centimeter of his life when he refused to design a gang’s tattoos. He and his older brother, like tens of thousands of others, fled their homeland and journeyed north to what they saw as the relative safety of the United States. They made it across the Rio Grande into Texas, but that hardly put an end to their troubles.

At least eight children killed at Gaza refugee camp

At a refugee camp near the beach in Gaza, parents took their children out to play. It’s Eid al-Fitr, a Muslim holiday that marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan. Children need to be children, even during war.

A boy named Mohammed was happy for a moment playing in the street yards from his family’s front door.

Then an explosion, and the ground shook. Holes as large as fists pockmarked a nearby building, and 10 people — eight of them children — were killed, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

In the chaos, they were rushed to nearby Shifa Hospital A TV news outlet run by Hamas showed live footage of the hospital. The channel blamed the carnage on an Israeli drone.
