When @DHSMcAleenan tries to sell an Immigration Babyjail as a “Gold Standard” think about what that means? It means indefinitely jailing children, for profit. It means traumatizing kids who are already traumatized. It means kids do not have freedom to play, to think, or to grow.
We watched today as the Secretary described the detention of children as being “campus-like.” Its not. Its prison-like. You are not free to leave. You have no privacy. The purpose of detaining kids is to isolate them from people who love them and the people who can help them.
In babyjail, your jailers are the parents, parents are the babysitters. Parents do not decide when or what kids eat. Your parents can not help you when you are sick or make any parental decisions. Kids become defiant, angry, depressed, helpless. Kids play, when guards let them.
