DHS Watchdog: “Dangerous Overcrowding” and Dire Conditions at Texas Migrant Jails | Democracy Now!

DHS Watchdog: “Dangerous Overcrowding” and Dire Conditions at Texas Migrant Jails | Democracy Now!: The report notes that migrants are being held without sufficient food or access to medical care. Some children had not received a hot meal since being locked up, and begged not to be returned to their cells. Inspectors observed over 2,500 children who had been held longer than the three days permitted under a key court settlement known as the Flores agreement. Photos accompanying the report show extreme overcrowding, including people huddled in cells in standing-room-only conditions. Some photos also show asylum seekers holding up signs for the inspectors—one of which reads “help.”
NPR reports that DHS is currently on the hunt for new sites across several Southern states to detain migrant children.
