1/ In June, we launched a project asking the public to help us report on migrant children separated from parents under zero tolerance. We partnered w/ 10 newsrooms in the US & Latin America.

As a result of this journalism, families are being reunited.

2/ Our partner @UniNoticias published profiles of four separated families we learned about through tips sent to our coalition—and now two families have been reunited.

5/ More than 2K kids are in detention centers & shelters separated from their families. Like this 10yo Guatemalan girl who’s detained in TX. She was separated from her mom in AZ. "Let them deport us, but let us reunite with our children," the mom said.

6/ @UniNoticias also profiled a Honduran father detained in Oregon, separated from his 6-year-old son in Texas. His son calls his mom back in Honduras and says "I want my dad, I'm alone."

1/ Thread: This is a story about what happens when you say no to #MS13.

@hannahdreier spent the year reporting on the gang on Long Island. This story is from her and @Ksurana6.

It is long. It is riveting. It is graphic.
2/ Jonathan came to the US from Honduras in 2013, to be with his mother on Long Island.

Later, he remembered how lonely it had been — so he liked to be the first to welcome new immigrant teens when they showed up to Bellport High.

That’s how he met Gerson Saravia.
3/ Jonathan introduced Gerson to his friends, including:

-the Morales brothers, from Guatemala
-Alfred, a Salvadoran-American freshman

Soon, Gerson was coming over to their houses after school to play video games.

2/ Waste removal is one of the most dangerous jobs in the country, and every night in New York private trucks zigzag across the city making hundreds of stops each. We charted one driver’s journey with this interactive map: propub.li/2sb7CEc
3/ Speaking of waste removal, we produced this explainer video on deaths caused by drivers of trucks owned by Sanitation Salvage, a Bronx trash hauler that has defended its record but has since surrendered its operating license:

1/ Hi. Do you like our storms — and how we use social to *do* journalism?

Do you think about how journalism can be done differently — and have experience doing it?

Well, happy Wednesday. propub.li/2CKixLb
2/ We’re hiring someone to lead our audience and engagement team. You’ll be overseeing more than a half-dozen journos — our social folks & our engagement reporters, who do deeply cool work:

In his opening statement @DickDurbin cites @SecNielsen’s June tweet denying a family separation policy existed. He denounces the policy as “government sanctioned child abuse” and calls for Nielsen to step down

This #SundayMorning we're tracking 2,000 migrant children separated from parents.

BP doesn't have them. DHS doesn't have them.
Where are they?

Many are in camps or centers. But some are in foster care & alarmingly, at Christian adoption agencies.
#WhereAreTheChildren

(2) One of the truly horrifying things has been the lack of records associated with the zero-tolerance policy. There's been little effort to track children separated from parents & former HHS officials warned that separations might be permanent.

nbcnews.com/storyline/immi…
(3) This looks a lot like genocide. The systematic removal of children from a group is part of the UN definition of ethnic cleansing & it's been used to eradicate what some considered "inferior" races.

It's why activists are focused on reunification.

"Children separated from parents at US border held in cages in Texas warehouse".

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights urges Trump to end policy of separating migrant children from their parents at the border, describing it as "unconscionable” that any country would seek to control immigration by “inflicting such abuse on children".

eu.usatoday.com/story/news/wor…
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights: People do not lose their human rights by virtue of crossing a border without a visa. I deplore adoption by many countries of policies intended to make themselves as inhospitable as possible by increasing the suffering of vulnerable people.

As I was looking into who is profiting from these detention centers for immigrants I came across the GEO Group. Most of the info is from 2017 and they donated heavily to groups backing Trump after the Obama admin announced it would phase out private prisons in August of 2016.
Profiting off those seeking a better life is big business with help from the Trump admin. South West Key, who run the child detention centers in Texas will be discussed later in thread. I hope someone with better research skills and time will delve deeper into this issue.
Meet the GEO Group, the private prison company who gave money to Trump—and is now reaping the rewards newsweek.com/geo-group-priv…
