Now back to @DHSOIG's report...
What jumps out?
- No investigation into verbal/physical abuse
- Emphasis on CBP's "struggles"
- Only two recommendations for improvement, and none on medical care.

But CBP effectively passes the blame to other government agencies. OIG later says there'll be a "separate review" into meeting the 72 hour target.

Well, here's the thing: OIG says "we did not evaluate the quality of medical care CBP provided detainees."
THEY DIDN'T EVALUATE IT!

Children were denied the right to make calls, not given showers or a change of clothes as required, not provided hot food, and more.
OIG's response? But CBP tried their best!

"Implement consistent guidance on how [CBP] handles detainee personal property."
Oh, and "a working group" is good enough for now.

OIG must do better.
