Good Grief: Texas Shelter for Immigrant Children Full of Trump Murals

[Soph0571]

A Texas shelter housing child immigrants who are separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border is reportedly overcrowded, highly structured, and full of murals featuring President Trump. The Casa Padre shelter in Brownsville was opened up to a group of journalists Wednesday for the first time since the Department of Homeland Security announced a controversial new family separation policy. According to MSNBC reporter Jacob Soboroff, who live-tweeted about his tour of the shelter, visitors are almost immediately greeted by a massive Trump mural featuring a quote that reads, “Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war.” Soboroff said on Twitter that similar presidential murals are “everywhere” throughout the facility.

1. "In your face, you families, you." - Family-values republicans (R)

an absolute disgrace that the republicans are rubbing Dirty Donny*s corpulent mug in the faces of the families and children they are caging, and breaking up. Absolutely disgraceful.

3. The 'Arbeit Macht Frei" gates are on order - coming next week/ being massed produced.

Caption for the orange dicktater should be 'Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.'

Maybe that will be on the Statue of Liberty for the second term.

5. So just to compound the crime

These poor innocent children have to look at that face all day?! That's torture and a war crime! Gross.

6. That photo doesn't look like the interior of Macy's to me,

but I worked there a while ago. Or perhaps this is the Wal-Mart child warehouse, it is hard to tell one detention center from the next.

Families Belong Together opposes the cruel, inhumane and unjustified separation of children from their parents along the U.S. border with Mexico and at other ports of entry into the U.S. We protest the conditions in which these children are kept. We protest the irreversible trauma that has already been perpetrated on these children and their parents for the crime of seeking a better life.

To separate immigrant families, victims of violence, hunger and poverty, is to re-violate them. Children as young as 18 months are torn from their mother’s arms by the U.S. government. This is violent abuse. These families are victimized again by the government to which they turn for help. Families Belong Together opposes the inhumane policies of the Trump Administration, Border Patrol, and I.C.E. and calls for immediate reform.

To be clear: I never said this shelter was “full of Trump murals.”

There are murals of 20 presidents inside including Obama which we showed on air tonight.

The Trump one happens to be right next to the cafeteria where we entered.

Please correct this, @thedailybeast.
