THREAD: In interviews, WH and DHS conflate the question of WHETHER a child should ever be detained with the question of HOW a child should be detained.
Even conceding that family separation or child detention is ok, there is no excuse for the HOW they are doing this. 1/
Again I don’t want to sound too logistical about this, but the deprivations of space, clothing, showers, hygiene are mere supply chain problems. And we are actually pretty good at supply chain solutions. We know how to move people, commodities, goods. 2/
Set up an incident command structure. (ICS). Create emergency support function (ESF) leads to address shelter, care, water, specialized needs. Establish a unified command (UF) to ensure interagency coordination. This isn’t rocket science. We do this. 3/
I can name 50 disaster specialists who could solve the HOW in 24 hours. The failure to address this logistical challenge isn’t one of capacity or skill or, as the WH pretends, funding.

It’s one of purpose and motive. 4/4
