Are you folks watching Rachel on the conditions for these migrant children in Arizona

It's beaking NBC news - these reports were written by case workers, Federal Employees from April to June.
The Con has covered this up.

Allegations of sexual assault are reported. Collective punishment is another allegation

These are crimes against humanity - where is the world?

Sexual abuse on minors????and we have Trump who is in total agreement that the detainees are being treated fairly. I'm getting sick hearing about this. We have a monster squatting in the WH. How do we know American citizens could be held like this. Zero tolerance Miller can go to hell. These are people not animals. Sickness is spreading.

This is not America this is not normal.

The number of events is increasing as word spreads. If you can't find an event you can donate at the link above too.

RESIST NOW!
Here is a list of the events planned so far....

https://www.lightsforliberty.org/localevents

"The Trump administration’s immigration policies and detention camps meet the United Nations’ definition of genocide and crimes against humanity,” said Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin, lawyer, activist and organizer. “Congress is refusing to stop the president and his policies. We cannot allow these atrocities to be perpetrated in our name.”

"Perhaps most terrifying, refugees are beginning to be moved onto military grounds, where there will be a lack of oversight from the media, lawyers, and human rights monitors."

"Now is the time for every person to stand up and say, ‘We will not accept this!’ No more hesitating. No more denial. No more fear. We need to be bold, and loud, and unrelenting. That’s the only way we can stop this,” said Kristin Mink, activist and organizer."

a totally corrupted Executive Branch, a totally corrupted Senate, and a judiciary branch that gets more corrupted every time Trump appoints a judge. All we have is the House and hopefully some sane federal judges on our side. We live in a uniquely dangerous time in the American democratic experiment.

continue watching and wondering why the fuck it's still happening and why nobody has stopped it. I caught the bit about the sexual assault of the 15 year old and after that, I was pretty much done watching for the night. Not sure what more I can do at this point. I've written letters, etc. Nothing.
