Where Are The Girls Being Detained By The Trump Administration?

[douglas9]

It took the publicity brought by Sen. Jeff Merkley, among others, to finally make Americans aware of the horrendous policy of housing children ripped away from their parents who have come through border points to seek asylum.

ICE made detention centers available for the media to tour to show that the children are not being housed in cages, have beds to sleep on and activities to do. They did show that. They also showed that the kids must look at a mural of Donald Trump among other horrifying images. They showed that traumatized children can not get comforted by anyone, including their own siblings. MSNBC's Jacob Soboroff described it as de facto incarceration for minors who did nothing but come with their parents to escape violence and persecution in their home country.

But here's the thing: I've poured over these reports. I've scoured the photos. I've looked at every publication and every news outlets reporting. Not. One. Covers. Girls. Being. Detained.

Where are the girls?

No tours have been given of a facility housing girls. Are their facilities safe? Have they been sexually assaulted or exploited? What precautions are being taken to keep them protected? Why are we not hearing about them?

1. I truly fear for their safety and well being. Who is "taking care" of these little ones? Predators?

Trumpsters don't care. Predators look for these types of situations, and will blame the victims.

6. Your prior post asks when will human traffickers become involved - my thought also. There are

already children missing. Human trafficking? There's money in that, and seems easy to do in this situation. No one will be accountable. Trumpsters don't care.

3. That writer needs to learn the difference between "poured" and "pored."

Different meanings entirely.

[TeamPooka]

32. That's what you took from this? Thanks for your help.

4. Also the babies.

This situation is horrific, and as bad as what we’ve seen is, those are the ones that they are comfortable letting us see. That’s the best conditions.

showcase camps where the 'inmate' people were shown to be treated right. When the 'human rights' visitors left, the inmates were shipped to extermination camps.

16. Agree where are the toddlers,babies and little girls?

It is freaking horror show run by Cheeto.

[BigmanPigman]

5. A lot of people have been asking this and other questions

like who is comforting the children, where are the babies, are siblings kept together, who is comforting them, etc. Jacob Soberoff MSNBC went to a boys facility inside one in San Diego, CA on Fri. but others weren't allowed in to see what it looks like when news cameras aren't there.

13. I heard that NO ONE is comforting the children.

Per some regulation, NO ONE is allowed to touch, hold, or otherwise engage with these children.

I can see where good may have been intended, to avoid inappropriate touching, but these is a huge cost to such a policy.

[TNNurse]

20. So not fed or cleaned or anything? Abuse????

[colorado_ufo]

33. I have no idea of the extent of this.

[TDale313]

17. Supposedly the staff aren't supposed to comfort them

One employee even quit after being told to stop siblings from hugging. Maximum pain and dehumanization is the order of the day and it’s sickening.

7. Don was golfing today. Anyone check there?

[Fritz Walter]

10. Beat me to it!

I was going to suggest checking Mar A Lago...

8. Sisters And Brothers Are Being Separated....

It's bad enough these kids are being taken away from their parents and then they go ahead and separate sisters from their big and little brothers. Just making it a more traumatic experience for them.

[Johnny2X2X]

11. Trump massage parlors and escort services

Trump owns a chain of escort services and massage parlors. Maybe he put the girls to work at those.

[safeinOhio]

27. Google massage parlors and Russian mob..

Of course they are now one and the same.

[smirkymonkey]

28. Oh god, I think I am going to be sick.

This can not be happening. It just can't. But where are they?

[uponit7771]

34. AKA Red Don's hotels

[Johnny2X2X]

38. Not really

While I'm sure his hotels use his massage parlors and escort services, they aren't 1 and the same, and he has escort services operating in cities without his hotels in them.

The fact the President of the United stated owning places for prostitution isn't a front page story shows how far from normal we are now. The President is nothing more than a 2 bit hustler and a pimp.

[Still In Wisconsin]

12. I would be surprised if they're not falling into the hands of traffickers.

When that happens and it comes to light TRUMP will try to use it against Democrats. “DEMS weak on crime and immigration, they are happy about child rape. Crooked Hillary making money off of this? Sad. Need the #WALL now.”


There you orange piece of shit I wrote your tweet for you.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. Silent Republicons / not working to stop it are complicit & evil. Their family value harm children

[Mr.Bill]

15. And the really scary thing is

if it was discovered that children were being sent to death camps, the republican Congress would do nothing, and Trump's approval rating would probably go up. I'm not kidding.

I fear there's a lot more wrong with this country than we ever thought.

[LiberalLoner]

30. Exactly.

[mountain grammy]

39. I completely agree with that statement.

[jb5150]

18. Perhaps the girls are being sent

directly to the "showers", while the boys will get the privilege of being worked to death.

[gibraltar72]

19. Five'll get you a hunnert

somewhere at the bottom of this Kushner or some member of the crime family has a financial interest in this. If you remember not that long ago he was huddling with the private prison folks to talk about prison reform. Either big contributors or the family directly is involved. Follow the dirty money. You'll find the girls.

21. I just asked this question on another thread

earlier today:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=10746017

Thanks for the article. This is disturbing, and that's putting it mildly.

[Silver Gaia]

22. Here's an article from AP News that at least mentions girls.

There's a post about this article and an NBC tweet about it elsewhere on DU.

[uponit7771]

35. Hmmm, the article only mentions a couple of girls. I don't see a dentention center for them ...

... man this is some screwed up crap here.

[Silver Gaia]

36. Yes, you are correct, but

this is the first time I've seen girls even mentioned. It's definitely messed up, and I am very worried.

[Skidmore]

23. I found myself wondering

if perhaps the boys are viewed as less sympathetic. These racists can present particularly the teenagers as threatening potential future criminals? Girls and babies are worse PR? I can see this as a calculated propaganda discussion in the WH.

[renate]

26. I think you are absolutely correct n/t

[malaise]

40. You nailed it

[BadgerMom]

24. K and R

25. this article is one of the first i've seen that mentions girls

"Padilla said agents in the Rio Grande Valley have allowed families with children under the age of 5 to stay together in most cases.

An advocate who spent several hours in the facility Friday said she was deeply troubled by what she found.

Michelle Brane, director of migrant rights at the Women's Refugee Commission, met with a 16-year-old girl who had been taking care of a young girl for three days. The teen and others in their cage thought the girl was 2 years old.

"She had to teach other kids in the cell to change her diaper," Brane said.

Brane said that after an attorney started to ask questions, agents found the girl's aunt and reunited the two. It turned out that the girl was actually 4 years old. Part of the problem was that she didn't speak Spanish, but K'iche, a language indigenous to Guatemala.

"She was so traumatized that she wasn't talking," Brane said. "She was just curled up in a little ball.""

[smirkymonkey]

29. This is so heartbreaking.

I can't believe what is happening in this country.

[dewsgirl]

31. And the babies/toddlers?

[Orsino]

37. This seems like exactly the sort of thing Trump would want to verify in person:

Because reasons.

Well, I'll tell you the funniest is that I’ll go backstage before a show, and everyone's getting dressed and ready and everything else, and you know, no men are anywhere. And I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant and therefore I'm inspecting it. You know, I'm inspecting, I want to make sure that everything is good.

You know, the dresses. ‘Is everyone okay?’ You know, they're standing there with no clothes. ‘Is everybody okay?’ And you see these incredible looking women, and so, I sort of get away with things like that. But no, I've been very good.
