I stand corrected.Â* I recently discovered that there is at least one
other"detention" center besides the two I mentioned in previous posts.

It's a smaller one in Texas, near the border where illegals who have
been rounded up are held until they can be transferred to one of the
other facilities.Â* Could be more of these, I suppose and the living
conditions are not as good as the bigger facilities.

My humble apologies.


No problem. I haven't seen a list and accompanying photos/videos of
every facility where these people are being stashed. I don't what what
the standards are for these facilities. I don't know how many kids were
separated from their moms or dads every month under previous presidents
and under Trump.

What I do know is that separating kids from their parents, siblings, et
cetera, is heartbreaking and presents Americans who really care about
how their country projects itself to them and to those outside the
country a true picture of the horrors of Trump & Thugs, Inc.

I know Trump thinks being tough on immigrants helps him with his base. I
don't think it will help him with anyone else, and anyone else is still
the majority in this country.



BTW ... with regard to another issue we discussed, I have learned that
indeed, there *is* a federal statute governing the separation of
kids and their parents in the detainee facilities.

The law says they cannot be separated for more than 72 hours.
As long as those kids who have parents are reunited before
then, the law is being followed.

I don't have any knowledge of how long they are being separated other
than one report that indicated they are "typically" reunited in two
days or less.
