THREAD: These photos were taken by DHS’s own Office of the Inspector General and released to the public with the title, “Management Alert –
DHS Needs to Address Dangerous Overcrowding and Prolonged Detention of Children and Adults in the Rio Grande Valley.”
You can read the report — released by Donald Trump’s administration ABOUT Donald Trump’s administration — on the DHS OIG website: oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/…
It shows, quite clearly, the systemic, moral, and human failings that are occurring right now as you read this tweet.
Failings like keeping children in “temporary” detainment for days and weeks longer than allowed under the law, in facilities without adequate access to showers, clean clothes, or hot meals.
Failings like stuffing a room so full of human beings that they were kept in standing room-only conditions for a week. You need to read the report: oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/…
This is a humanitarian crisis & Trump could have stopped it today. Or yesterday. Or the day before that. Or the day before that, or the day before that. But he hasn’t & he won’t—unless we force his hand. Don’t look away. This is on all of us if we allow these violations to happen
