When the children who are kept behind the fences & in the tent prisons of Homestead reach the age of 18, they are taken out in chains. Their ankles are chained to their wrists and they are moved to adult detention. Until then, they spend their days in a strange sort of suspense.
They wait while a conspiracy between the Office of Refugee Resettlement and Immigration and Customs Enforcement goes through a procedure that aims at three things.
It aims at luring and catching sponsor families in the U.S. who may be undocumented, so that they can be deported. And it serves its second purpose, to punish children as a warning to desperate people in Central America. Third purpose: to make some rich people richer.
Does this sound stark? Does it sound like an exaggeration? Well, there is a memo that was leaked to Senator Merkley of Oregon that actually spells out the strategy. In plain language. And Caliburn, the company that is making the money, is about to sell stock.
Yesterday, a group of young people who we met at Wendy’s asked about R buttons that say “Free Them”. We explained, & a little later they came 2 the prison camp. They stood watching children we had told them about. Some who watched were same age as prisoners they were watching.
Some of those children will turn 18 inside there. Unless we shut it down.
This is an emergency. Not a time to wait.
