I am just now watching her opening segment as we had recorded it. Damn she is on it and she is good. "Management Alert" from DHS to DHS/CPB by Inspector General -- blistering and with photos.
And -- she opens with protests all over, chants of "Close the Camps."
At last. At last.
Please watch/record her show when it reruns tonight.

The MSNBC reporter wad there last June and I remembered the sign and used Google Street view maps to find it. They will not let anyone in and the neighbors had no idea what the place was used for.
The owner is making $$$$ millions off of the crisis that is occurring at the borders and is running these in several states. Good article about him at the link....

(51,584 posts)particular rich dude is that he was born into a life that should have made him caring but instead he is profitting off of those who are as down and oit as he was. HYPOCRITE × 1,000,000,000!
"Juan Sanchez grew up along the Mexican border in a two-bedroom house so crowded with children that he didnt have a bed. But he fought his way to another life. He earned three degrees, including a doctorate in education from Harvard, before starting a nonprofit in his Texas hometown."
"Mr. Sanchez has built an empire on the back of a crisis. His organization, Southwest Key Programs, now houses more migrant children than any other in the nation. Casting himself as a social-justice warrior, he calls himself El Presidente, a title inscribed outside his office and on the government contracts that helped make him rich."

(86,536 posts)and now they are saying there are only 300 kids in custody, so what happened to the rest of them? I swear the intent is to sell them all into slavery of one kind or another. With the assholes running this shitshow, I'm anticipating the worst.
