The Trump administration has open three “tender age” shelters in
south Texas where babies and toddlers forcibly separated from their
parents by border guards are being stored.
They’re basically jails for immigrant babies who are now, for today, functionally orphans.
Our government made these kids orphans.
There is no plan to reunite the families. In this report, one woman says the government can’t tell her where her son is.
We don’t have photos or video from inside the facilities. The government won’t allow journalists in.
The Trump administration is separating families at the border. They’re
calling these prisons for kids “tender age shelters.” We don’t know
exactly where they are.
“In general we do not identify the locations of permanent
unaccompanied alien children program facilities,” said Department of
Health and Human Services spokesman Kenneth Wolfe.
