Cheering on my fellow #Texas #journos from Nashville (where I've got a delayed flite to @DallasLoveField). As a reader, I want a map with where the immigrant kids are, name of contractor, how much paid so far this year by fed taxpayers, how many kids detained. #makeithappen
@DallasLoveField I want to know EVERYTHING re these contractors. What kind of license they possess or last inspection to care for kids. I want to know who their CEOs are, what lawmakers take their money. If they apply restraints on kids. #makeithappen #Texas #journos.
@DallasLoveField #TXjournos: I want to know what capacity is for each center. I want to know which #Texas, fed agency certified them. I want to SEE every PDF that details all protocols of feeding, caring for these kids. I want staffer/doctor/kid ratios. Names of all subcontractors. #MakeItHappen
Also, #txjournos, as a reader, I’d love to know more about all the different nonprofits, legal, medical groups on the ground trying to get access to immigrant kids. What court activity happening. #MakeItHappen
Other things to look at, #txjournos: contractors who are flying kids from state to state. If one detention center fills, up, the fed gov will be contracting transport companies. Start with TAGGS (taggs.hhs.gov/SearchRecip) ... 1/2
I am really hoping #txjournos break it down for me the difference between the 2014-era family detention centers and companies holding children taken from immigrant parents on the border. I see a time-lapse viz showing detention centers along border as they opened and closed 2/2
