I found this article to be the best I’ve seen so far about what is going on with the children at the border. All US citizens should read it. I know it’s a bit dated but it is clear and less histrionic than many.
New Yorker article about the immigrant children: Inside a Texas Building…
I finally found a news report with an update about the children.
PBS Newshour: Fewer than 200 migrant children remain separated from their parents
I feel like the headline is misleading. What they actually mean is that fewer than 200 are eligible to be helped by the class action lawsuit.
There are an additional 220 children who are deemed no longer a part of the class-action lawsuit. If you add that to the 182 who are deemed part of the class action that is a total of 402 still in government custody. to my mind that isn’t brilliant progress, the article on September 4 said that 416 remained in custody. Although it feels like they are not necessarily comparing apples to apples from week to week.
I have not been able to find out what happens to those 220 kids.
PBS weekly update on the children separated from their families.
I know it is tedious that I keep hammering on this…but imagine how it feels for the kids and their families. 14 of the children are under 5! This is ridiculous.
