They said they weren't allowed to comfort the kids. I remember reading about kids in state homes in Romania. They never cried because they learned it did no good.
If you have the address please post it.
The Southwest Key shelter in El Cajon, California, is on Broadway, not far from a Starbucks and an auto body shop. A green fence keeps the public out and the children inside. Unlike the Casa Padre children’s shelter in Brownsville, Texas, there’s no mural of President Trump. -- ABC NEWS
I know exactly the address. I plan on being there this afternoon. Others have started doing the same. Here is the address:
1160 Broadway, El Cajon, CA 92021
And, here is the address where minor girls are being held in San Diego: 2205 El Prado Ave, Lemon Grove, CA 91945
The contractor running these centers, Southwest Key, has a map on their website showing where they operate. According to their website "Southwest Key operates programs in Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Florida, New York, Texas and Wisconsin." It's not clear whether all of these states have detention facilities, but my hunch is that there probably are centers in these states.
So, don't assume that this is just along the border. Do your research about what is going on in your own city and state. (I found the centers' addresses by doing a search for Southwest Key on Google maps)
It is no small irony that the company talks about how wonderful their centers are for "unaccompanied minors." Back in 2014, children WERE showing up unaccompanied at the border. But, now we are talking about children arriving with their families and being taken away from their parents. That's what's making them "unaccompanied."
Here is the website for Southwest Key: http://www.swkey.org
Of course, the company is NOT responsible for the current policy. That sits squarely on the administration's shoulders.
Edit: I'm watching Trump on TV right now insisting that "these people" are all murderers, rapists, gang members and drug dealers. My heart hurts.
Trump has just announced that he is going to cut off all U.S. aid to any country that allows people to illegally immigrate to America. This is at the NFIB conference today. He has also reiterated his intentin to keep separating children. "You have to take children away" to prosecute parents he says. He claims that it is the only way to protect Americans against "rapists, murderers and MS-13."
It is disgusting to hear people applauding him and laughing about his comments on this. Jeanne, thank you for providing this forum and allowing us to share information about this issue. I know this is not the purpose of this forum on the surface, but I feel, deep in my heart, that there is a tremendous need for places for people to connect in peace and love right now.
Thank you, RosieHeart. They know not what they do.
Rosieheart - are people gathering at the Broadway site or the Lemon Grove site or both?
I will try to go too - any idea what time?
Re: Homeland Security Krstjen Nielsen
Did some scanning. Not good. interesting result. Got a tarot spread that supported it.
This women has ability, but it is misused. She is now trapped between a rock and a hard place. There is no way out for her, except to Leave the Whitehouse. If she stays, she is destroyed. Everything she will try and do about the child issue will rebound on her.......She feels the closing in, of something powerful on her. She is beginning to realise that she is in a dead end one way street. I have no pity for her. Fate will deal with her, and soon. Watch and see what happens. For those who can also scan, yes, it will happen.
