TORNILLO, Texas (AP) — Texas lawmakers say they have been told atemporary tent shelter in far West Texas for immigrant minors will stay open another month.
State Reps. Ina Minjarez and Diego Bernal of San Antonio told the San Antonio Express-News that they toured the Tornillo facility Friday. About 170 teen boys are being housed in tents at Tornillo. The U.S. government opened the facility in June because its existing shelters were at capacity. More than 2,000 children were put in government shelters after being separated from their parents under the Trump administration’s zero-tolerance policy.
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services spokesman Brian Marriott said Saturday that an existing contract for the facility that was due to expire Aug. 13 has been extended by 30 days.
Sure, cause nothing says conservative compassion than forcing separated teens to live in tents in West Texas during the hottest part of the year…
Also gives them more time to hide the bodies so to speak, the abuse, etc. It also allows them to “lose” those they have refused to reunite into more maze.
Question is why?
Trafficking?
Trafficking is my 1st, 2nd and 3rd guess as how can they ask all those nice white folks who provided “fostering” to send their servant/slave back. They paid good money for the “privilege” can’t have The Dumpster welch on a deal, he has never done that in all his “business” career.
No point keeping it open once the weather starts cooling.
Pack those tents up and ship them to North Dakota. It’s a border state, too, right?
Don’t give them any ideas or the next kids will be there for the winter.
It’s going to take that long to shut down Ivanka’s sweat shop? I thought she had no more purchase orders left.
