Why isn’t there daily reporting being done on the abuse in the migrant detention centres on the US Mexico border? Last one I found was 9 days ago, and before that, weeks ago. Adults and kids...especially kids, are being subjected to torturous abuse, including sexual abuse. Guards throwing their food on the floor for not speaking English, having to drink toilet water when they’re thirsty, physical assault, being called racial slurs, sleeping on cold floors under bright lights, being denied basic hygiene. All while in a strange frighting lock-up, terrified that they’ll never see their parents again. Parents not knowing where their kids are. They will be fortunate if they’re not traumatized for life. They’ve already fled from danger, now this. It’s sickening! It’s beyond horrible.
I read that incidents of abuse have been reported for decades, but now the overt vitriolic racism motivating much of it is even stronger under this administration because Trump has made that okay.
