5/ But since you’ve got us talking about the ol’ blog, perhaps it would be helpful to revisit some of the stuff we’ve written this year about family separation.
6/ Back in June, we exposed allegations of forced drugging and other forms of child migrant abuse at the Shiloh Treatment Center in Texas: revealnews.org/blog/immigrant…
7/ About a month after that, a judge ordered the federal government to stop drugging immigrant children without proper consent – and to remove them from this shelter. revealnews.org/blog/judge-ord…
