John Kelly joins board of company operating largest shelter for unaccompanied migrant children
Source: CBS
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.
The Caliburn board includes other former high-ranking military personnel, including retired General Anthony C. Zinni, Admiral James G. Stavridis and Rear Admiral Kathleen Martin. The company's portfolio includes work in a variety of defense sectors.

children who are suffering indefinite detention.
Many with little hope of ever seeing their parents again.
That is what the racist trump sycophant Kelly is on the board of directors of: a concentration camp.

(502 posts)We need to be concerned with all of these corporations run by ex military members. They are sucking so much money out of our government. There are so many of them who get paid more than the highest offices in the country. They make more than our lawmakers and their influence is disturbing me. I am a veteran and I don't like what has become of our military and their attitudes.
