The law doesn't say the government is required to provide toothbrushes, soap, showers or even adequate sleep to detained migrants, officials argue, so why should they have to?
Camps, where immigrant children are being concentrated on the southern border, are withholding basic sanitation and even sleep from the children there. America, you are headed down the road to atrocity.
Recently treated a baby in the hospital who had been In an immigration camp. Her mom said they gave her water and bread to eat. She felt lucky to be breastfeeding because it meant her baby didn’t have to eat what they provided. The baby got sick after leaving the center and when asked if the baby had been around anyone who was sick she said, “well, everyone was vomiting and coughing there so I guess yes”. We need to do better, America.
