And the pretense that some agencies of our government then use, the pretense that we care, and protect the precious fragments of those shattered families from the people they love, by putting them in “shelters,” is grotesque.

In places like Tornillo, like Homestead, like Carrizo Springs, remote places where they hope we won’t find them. On federal land, so they hope we won’t notice that regulations that protect children don’t apply.2/
Filling the pockets of the likes of John Kelly, late of the White House and now of Caliburn, and Kevin Dinnin of BCFS, mastermind of both Tornillo and Carrizo Springs, who draws an obscene half million a year as head of a “nonprofit.”

They brag about care they give kids! System is like an abusive parent bringing about unconscionable suffering & then proudly setting up prisons some of which they then show off asking us-& so much worse, asking the kids-2 B grateful 4 comfort they dispense. See daddy loves you 4/
These places, born of a scheme to disincentivize migration, can never be good & cannot be forgiven. Our eyes are open. They are taking children, brown & some black, & building fenced camps to put them in.5/
The gall of some of these people, profiteers & nonprofiteers alike, to proudly show off their work! Look, at our nice camp! See how the children play?

Tornillo is closed. Homestead is empty. Carrizo Springs, the Terezin of the American camps, had a grand opening with pretty banners & now has no children in it, but stands ready for the opportunity. Fort Sill is on standby. 7/
They can’t hide now. Because I see what, and who, they are.
