John Kelly joins board of company operating largest shelter for unaccompanied migrant children
By Graham Kates
Updated on: May 3, 2019 / 10:39 PM / CBS News
In April, protesters outside the nation's largest facility for unaccompanied migrant children noticed a familiar face enter the massive, fenced site in Homestead, Florida: former White House chief of staff John Kelly. Soon after, a local television station recorded footage of him riding on the back of a golf cart as he toured the grounds.
It wasn't clear why he was there, but Friday, Caliburn International confirmed to CBS News that Kelly had joined its board of directors. Caliburn is the parent company of Comprehensive Health Services, which operates Homestead and three other shelters for unaccompanied migrant children in Texas.
Prior to joining the Trump administration in January 2017, Kelly had been on the board of advisors of DC Capital Partners, an investment firm that now owns Caliburn.

An old game, long before RUMSFELD, but Darth Rums is a perfect example: Hmm, I wonder why he went to work for the Aspartame outfit, which had had trouble getting FDA approval for years. Like, Rums' connections back in government, that would get-er-done (to use a wingnut tag line)?!1 Yip, *that* happened, and we have forgotten and now scarfe Aspertame down.
It certainly ain't any humane particle in KELLY for concern about sheltering children!

Her resumé already shows she has experience in separating and incarcerating, er, sheltering brown children.
