(21,646 posts)Earlier this year, it was revealed children being held in facilities in Texas operated by immigration authorities, were being detained in circumstances United Nations (UN) human rights chief Michelle Bachelet said appalled her. Children were denied access to showers, adequate food or bedding, allegedly in breach of a 20-year ruling
Now, in a lawsuit filed by 19 states, further details have been provided by some of those children, who told investigators they were held in rooms too small to sit down in, were repeatedly woken through the night by roll calls, and were made to fight for food that guards threw on the floor
From op link
Never thought of that.
More horror, more dehumanization.

(64 posts)One young woman told lawyers from Washington state, that menstruating youngsters were permitted only one tampon, or sanitary pad, a day. After that, at least one girl had no choice but to continue to wear her soiled underwear and clothes.
The lawsuit includes testimony by lawyer Alma Poletti, an investigator in Mr Fergusons civil rights division, who said one young woman who was having her period was only permitted to take a shower after 10 days. She recalls there was another girl at the facility who was also on her period. They were each given one sanitary pad per day. Although the guards knew they had their periods, they were not offered showers or a change of clothes, even when the other girl visibly bled through her pants, said Ms Poletti. This girl had no choice but to continue to wear her soiled underwear and [trousers].
