at ░░░░░░░░ large processing center What ░░░░░░░░ saw is what you ░░░░░░░░ in the pictures That ░░░░░░░░ the large cages that ░░░░░░░░ set up in a ░░░░░░░░ warehouse Children are divided ░░░░░░░░ age more or less ░░░░░░░░ I saw caged full ░░░░░░░░ 5 year olds They ░░░░░░░░ alone many crying Some ░░░░░░░░ them occasionally playing and ░░░░░░░░ to quiet down by ░░░░░░░░ Other than that there ░░░░░░░░ no supervision of these ░░░░░░░░ no toys no appropriate ░░░░░░░░ And in fact the ░░░░░░░░ were on 24 hours ░░░░░░░░ day Really entirely inappropriate ░░░░░░░░ How are they sleeping ░░░░░░░░ was released by customs ░░░░░░░░ border protection So they ░░░░░░░░ just on mats with ░░░░░░░░ tin foil blank it ░░░░░░░░ Exactly That s exactly ░░░░░░░░ Exactly what you see ░░░░░░░░ that picture Did you ░░░░░░░░ children being separated from ░░░░░░░░ parents I did At ░░░░░░░░ Border Patrol station I ░░░░░░░░ actually speaking to a ░░░░░░░░ girl a 9 year ░░░░░░░░ girl and her father ░░░░░░░░ they came and took ░░░░░░░░ girl away What happened ░░░░░░░░ that scene They came ░░░░░░░░ knocked on the door ░░░░░░░░ they needed to take ░░░░░░░░ girl I asked them ░░░░░░░░ they were taking her ░░░░░░░░ told me they were ░░░░░░░░ her for process to ░░░░░░░░ a shelter I asked ░░░░░░░░ they were going to ░░░░░░░░ this to the father ░░░░░░░░ to the girl Really ░░░░░░░░ agent just stared at ░░░░░░░░ So I suggested that ░░░░░░░░ might want to give ░░░░░░░░ a few moments to ░░░░░░░░ good bye and understand ░░░░░░░░ was happening Again he ░░░░░░░░ stared at me and ░░░░░░░░ I m not separating ░░░░░░░░ ma am I m ░░░░░░░░ taking her for processing ░░░░░░░░ a shelter What does ░░░░░░░░ call it He he ░░░░░░░░ just said I m ░░░░░░░░ her to a shelter ░░░░░░░░ I said well you ░░░░░░░░ taking her and not ░░░░░░░░ father so why don ░░░░░░░░ you give them a ░░░░░░░░ That means you re ░░░░░░░░ them We gave them ░░░░░░░░ a minute She stood ░░░░░░░░ and walked away And ░░░░░░░░ father broke down crying ░░░░░░░░ they know where the ░░░░░░░░ are going to be ░░░░░░░░ have no idea Eventually ░░░░░░░░ did understand that he ░░░░░░░░ probably going to court ░░░░░░░░ she would be going ░░░░░░░░ this processing center And ░░░░░░░░ did happen to find ░░░░░░░░ the next day when ░░░░░░░░ was in that processing ░░░░░░░░ She received a shower ░░░░░░░░ new clothing and had ░░░░░░░░ idea where her father ░░░░░░░░ Thank goodness you re ░░░░░░░░ to be the interpreter ░░░░░░░░ intermediary because not everybody ░░░░░░░░ an advocate as functioning ░░░░░░░░ you were What happens ░░░░░░░░ 20 days with the ░░░░░░░░ who have to be ░░░░░░░░ Where do they go ░░░░░░░░ are there as long ░░░░░░░░ it takes for Orr ░░░░░░░░ is in charge of ░░░░░░░░ care and custody and ░░░░░░░░ to find a place ░░░░░░░░ put them That s ░░░░░░░░ this issue of tender ░░░░░░░░ facilities come in The ░░░░░░░░ their job is to ░░░░░░░░ these children put them ░░░░░░░░ licensed shelters and group ░░░░░░░░ until they can find ░░░░░░░░ family or a sponsor ░░░░░░░░ the community where they ░░░░░░░░ release these children to ░░░░░░░░ child welfare says they ░░░░░░░░ not be institutionalized They ░░░░░░░░ be in the community ░░░░░░░░ are used to getting ░░░░░░░░ who come here on ░░░░░░░░ own that are older ░░░░░░░░ minors Exactly So these ░░░░░░░░ are traumatized They are ░░░░░░░░ younger And the facilities ░░░░░░░░ had in place so ░░░░░░░░ some of them are ░░░░░░░░ to handle young children ░░░░░░░░ once in a while ░░░░░░░░ get those But not ░░░░░░░░ these numbers So they ░░░░░░░░ scrambling I want to ░░░░░░░░ something attorney general Jeff ░░░░░░░░ said in USA Today ░░░░░░░░ These children are well ░░░░░░░░ for In fact they ░░░░░░░░ better care than a ░░░░░░░░ of American kids do ░░░░░░░░ are provided plenty of ░░░░░░░░ education in their language ░░░░░░░░ and dental care and ░░░░░░░░ to their destination city ░░░░░░░░ at taxpayer expense Is ░░░░░░░░ what you saw Were ░░░░░░░░ getting tutored in their ░░░░░░░░ lots of dental care ░░░░░░░░ the facilities where they ░░░░░░░░ separated from their parents ░░░░░░░░ are absolutely not getting ░░░░░░░░ of those services and ░░░░░░░░ appropriate services at all ░░░░░░░░ want to be clear ░░░░░░░░ office of refugee resettlement ░░░░░░░░ have shelters that do ░░░░░░░░ child licensing standards They ░░░░░░░░ licensed to take care ░░░░░░░░ children So they do ░░░░░░░░ some of those services ░░░░░░░░ that s not the ░░░░░░░░ here The issue is ░░░░░░░░ children are separated from ░░░░░░░░ parents and are traumatized ░░░░░░░░ shouldn t be in ░░░░░░░░ facilities in the first ░░░░░░░░ There are so many ░░░░░░░░ The administration is making ░░░░░░░░ look like their only ░░░░░░░░ is to separate the ░░░░░░░░ or release them right ░░░░░░░░ they are trying to ░░░░░░░░ is get waivers of ░░░░░░░░ of child welfare standards ░░░░░░░░ have those not apply ░░░░░░░░ these families so they ░░░░░░░░ detain children in prisons ░░░░░░░░ licensed for children That ░░░░░░░░ what they are trying ░░░░░░░░ do There is no ░░░░░░░░ in law to stop ░░░░░░░░ these kids The alternative ░░░░░░░░ releasing them to the ░░░░░░░░ We have seen programs ░░░░░░░░ place where 99 of ░░░░░░░░ show tpoup for court ░░░░░░░░ you go 99 This ░░░░░░░░ shut that program down.
