The Latest: US nixed FBI checks for teen migrant camp staff

Source: AP News

A new government watchdog memo says the Trump administration waived rigorous background checks for all staff working at the nation’s largest detention camp for migrant children .

The memo, obtained exclusively by The Associated Press, says the former director of the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement personally signed off on sidestepping requirements for child abuse and neglect checks at the tent city in Tornillo, Texas.

None of the 2,100 staff has gone through FBI fingerprint checks either, but the Tornillo contractor says staff are vetted in other ways.

Tornillo now holds 2,324 migrant teens, and has expanded recently.

the orange anal sphincter is most afraid of is being found to have a major role in global human trafficking and too many of his associates are covering to cover up their roles too.

Of course, dumpf wasn't vetted either. And he is a known/documented predator.

The "teen migrant camp staff" probably don't have a lot of criminal history (unlike the Predator-In-Chief) but putting them as foxes guarding the chickens seems like a recipe for abuse. Maybe that's what Stephen Miller and the other slime want.
