(92,146 posts)We dont get enough water. They put out a little case of water, and everyone has to run for it, said the declaration from the girl held with her mother and two younger siblings at the Karnes County Immigration Processing Center. An adult here even pushed my little sister out of the way to get to the water first.
One family with a young boy with cancer said he missed his doctors appointment after the family was arrested following their attendance to an immigration court hearing. He is now experiencing relapse symptoms, according to the motion. Another family said their 9-month old lost over 8 pounds (3.6 kilograms) while in detention for a month.
Children spoke openly about their trauma during visits with legal monitors, including a 12-year-old boy with a blood condition. He reported his feet became too inflamed to walk, and even though he saw a doctor, he was denied further testing. Now, he stays mostly off his feet. It hurts when I walk, he said in a court declaration.
Arrests have left psychological trauma. A mother of a 3-year-old boy who saw agents go inside his babysitters home with guns started acting differently after detention. She said he now throws himself on the ground, bruises himself and refuses to eat most days.

But how about the rest of the so called sane Republicans? The ones who voted for cheaper eggs. Does this move them at all?

Remember:::: whatever bad that Donald says about "illegals"/undoc immigrants, he would rather hire them than pay Americans.
The very same "illegals"/undoc immigrants that he blames for so much crime.
He only quit hiring them when it became politically inconvenient.

I don't know how we fix this, it's scary and feels like we can't stop it but we have to!

(378 posts)Can a States senator go to investigate the conditions? They are totally inhumane. I think protesting at these facilities would help in getting something done.

(25,529 posts)Saying we resent our tax dollars supporting this inhumane treatment and we want it stopped. I wish I knew who to call to help..some kind of lawyer or something. Doing nothing and knowing whats going on is painful enough and we dont even know the half of it. 🤬 Im literally sick of this

(20,233 posts)No King's day was excellent, but the lack of effective pushback against this administration is puzzling and frightening. Is everyone just sitting on their hands, assuming it will be over in four years or less then life can carry on? Or are people genuinely frightened for their lives and futures?
