NEW: Federal funds for child migrants’ lifeline in detention — free legal services — running out.

No money available for two new temporary shelters on military bases.

No funds for an Arizona shelter for 50 kids ages 0-5.

Details, with @JuliaEAinsley. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
“[C]hildren arrive often having survived unspeakable trauma, and to contemplate sending these vulnerable children into court alone, without access to a lawyer who can make sure they understand what is happening and protect their rights, is unconscionable,” @L_Toczylowski said.
Can’t overstate how important free legal services for child migrants are.

Without them, risk of deportation back to dangerous conditions they fled skyrockets — it’s starting to happen.

If Congress doesn’t agree to funding deal soon, will get far worse. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…

BREAKING: Poor conditions for kids at the border extend beyond Texas.

We’ve obtained exclusive reports from children held in Yuma, Arizona.

It’s not just overcrowding: allegations of sexual assault and retaliation by border agents.

More on @maddow 9ET. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
You can now read two of the “significant incident reports” alleging sexual abuse and retaliation to protests by Border Patrol agents in Yuma that I discussed with @maddow tonight.

Just published to @MaddowBlog here. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
NEW: CBP says they’re investigating the alleged sexual assault we reported by Border Patrol agent of detained migrant girl in Yuma.

They did *not* say if they’re investigating any of the dozens of other reports we obtained.

The latest, via @TODAYshow.

EXCLUSIVE: Botched reunifications left separated kids in vans overnight, one for 39 hours.

E-mail: "There has to be a better process. I hope... there can be adjustments so that we don't put tender age kids in this position."

More on @chrislhayes. #inners nbcnews.to/2JUhLA9
@chrislhayes NEW: As we asked "where are the children?" at least 37 were eating and sleeping overnight in vans parked outside an adult detention center, some two nights, because ICE wasn't ready to reunite them. More: nbcnews.to/2JUhLA9 @allinwithchris @JuliaEAinsley @chrislhayes #inners
Hard to believe what’s in this e-mail, but it really does say 37 “tender age” separated migrant kids waited on vans for hours overnight when they were supposed to be in the arms of their parents.

16 year old Guatemalan died in Border Patrol custody after getting flu during a week detained, well past the 72 hour limit.

He’s the fifth child migrant to die since December.

Before that no kid died in custody for 10 years.

Latest with @LesterHoltNBC.

NEW: CBP temporality stops intake at McAllen Centralized Processing Center upon today finding many “in custody with high fevers whom are also displaying signs of a flu.”

A day *after* boy died from the flu following a week in custody — fifth child migrant to die since December.
This is Carlos Gregorio Hernández Vásquez, the 16 year old Guatemalan boy who died of the flu in Border Patrol custody Monday.

In December, the Trump administration boasted a child hadn't died in custody for a decade.

Carlos is the fifth child to die in custody since then.

Military contractors are bribing Iraqi oligarchs
@ZackKopplin
On Wednesday, @mcculloughirvin and I published a massive dive into a U.S. military contractor. Y'all were too busy tweeting about optics then, so read it now.
thedailybeast.com/the-shady-conn…
@mcculloughirvin There are six basic allegations. The first is that an American military contractor, SOS International, made a corrupt deal with an Iraqi cartel that we call Afaq. Afaq is tied to Iraq's former Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki.
@mcculloughirvin The bones of Afaq are controlled by several Iraqi oligarchs. One of the most powerful is Essam Kzar al-Asadi. Essam is a bagman for al-Maliki and has won billions in state construction contracts

For the last 24 hours I've been texting & calling with refugees in Libya. 500 are apparently stuck in a Tripoli prison w/o food & water after heavy fighting broke out two days ago. They say their guards ran away, leaving them alone.
These refugees are men, women & children. They tried to cross the Mediterranean earlier this year, but were found by Italian boats, who turned them over to the EU-backed Libyan coastguard, who put them in prison. The conditions were already terrible before the fighting started.
Oh the phone earlier I could hear children crying & what sounded like bombing in the distance. The refugees say everyone's incredibly frightened. "We hear machine guns, tanks, big bombs, last night from the roof it was all fire."

Does AUSA Moira Kim Penza, prosecutor in the fed. #NXIVM #RICO criminal racketeering case, realize that her indictments of #NXIVM leader, Keith Raniere aka "Vanguard," last March, may have affected the outcome of the 2018 Mexican Presidential Election? #ArizonaMafia #Democrats
Moira Kim Penza is 1 of the main prosecutors in the federal #NXIVM #RICO criminal case. A #RICO case is very serious; it is 1 of the most complex types of prosecutions the U.S. Government can initiate. Moira's boss is Richard P. Donoghue, U.S. Atty for the Eastern District of NY.
Penza is a smart lawyer. According to publicly available information, she studied at Cornell Law School, a private Ivy League University located in Ithaca, New York. Cornell was ranked the #13 law school in America, out of 203 law schools, by U.S. News & World Report, in 2018.
