The WHERE of the current *fake* Fox Biden Immigration Facility nonsense. Not the WHO or WHAT.

I saw that this was big shakes in right wing world. Fox’s Douchey Jr. at the White House thinks this is a really winner.

WHERE - Yes it is at a facility preciously criticized by Biden and Dems.
Yes it’s very costly
Yes immigrant and detention advocates are not happy about this. Let’s hope such advocates are now a regular part of news reports, Fox News.

WHO - these are underage undocumented who came here on their own. They are awaiting vetting of family or friends of the family who will be their sponsors while awaiting hearings and the process. They are mostly teenagers 13 to 17.

WHAT - these are NOT families being separated as a matter of punitive policy.
This is necessitated to be in compliance with the CDC COVID protocols.
