I just left the tent city at Tornillo. It is a child prison camp. They refused our request to speak with the children who are held there.
The vast majority of these children have parents or other family members who are ready to sponsor them in the US, but the Trump Administration has deliberately created a bottleneck so that it’s difficult for the children to be released.
They’re also threatening to hand over any undocumented family members to ICE, discouraging sponsors from coming forward.
So thousands of children are living in a tent prison. In the desert. For months on end.
