911 calls reveal brutal condition for kids at Trump's detention centers

[orangecrush]

Newly released audio of 911 calls made from the immigration detention center in Dilley, Texas, reveals extremely young children in physical distress who have required serious medical attention. These incidents are occurring as fallout from President Donald Trump’s push for a mass deportation policy.

NBC News published the calls on Friday and they reveal the human toll of the Trump administration’s actions. In the audio, staffers at Dilley explain a series of dire situations to 911 operators.

For instance, in one case staffers report that that a 17-month-old child is suffering from respiratory distress, while in another call a 22-month-old child was having trouble breathing and had a reported oxygen level of 85%—levels below 95% are abnormal in children and brain activity can be affected at the 80-85% range.

Other calls reveal children with fevers, fractures, and other medical issues. NBC reported that in at least three cases children had to be flown from the Dilley center to a specialized pediatric hospital.

during Trump's first term, the congress critters went to one of those fenced in mass camps for children, and were turned away by armed Border Patrol agents??????????? All those 1000's? of kids, taken away from their parents, disappeared with no PAPER TRAIL????

3. Democrats need to get a judge to swear in some marshals

to escort congress members.

4. Good idea

[bluestarone]

5. TY, Somthing gotta happen to help these congress people

[PatSeg]

7. Yes, it is frightening that Trump

controls the military, the FBI, and much of law enforcement. Who are you going to call for help? Of course, that is exactly the scenario that a dictator wannabe wants. In the process, it takes a lot of power away from the courts, because who is going to enforce their rulings?

8. Exactly. They got us against the ropes, for sure

We've got one scary November coming. I worry even if we take both houses will they abide by decisions we pass? I know, just by past behavior they will STALL on everything.

11. Oh absolutely

Republicans have not relinquished control of power gracefully in decades. Even during the Clinton years, they spent the entire 8 years on an endless witch hunt.

I suppose everyone likes winning, but for republicans it is everything. They don't care about policy or governing, they just want to WIN and of course, enjoy all the perks that go with winning. For them it is like playing a game, one where anything goes and nothing is off limits.
