detention centers

China’s Wuhan disease has spread rapidly through U.S. migrant detention centers, sickening many migrants and blocking some deportation flights to Central America. 

A federal judge rejected an effort to force ICE to release migrants in a detention center in Washington state because of coronavirus.

During Sunday’s “Kasie DC” on MSNBC, Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) commented on the situation at the migrant detention centers. Capito, in response to a report by The New York Times about poor conditions at the centers, said any “bad actors”

Bernie Sanders visited the Homestead protest and said the U.S. should address the “root cause” of migration, which he said was violence in Central America.

Beto O’Rourke said that rising temperatures had created droughts, which made it more difficult for people to grow their own food. That, he said, forced them to undertake the arduous journey on foot to the U.S. border, and to cross illegally.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) declared that she would never apologize for comparing detention facilities at the U.S. border with “concentration camps” in Nazi-occupied Europe.

Despite protesters who oppose migrant detention centers, citizens of a small town in Illinois want the jobs and other benefits it will bring.

We cannot enforce our laws at the border, because a child might cry somewhere in America and people will be upset. We have to reduce the human element in law enforcement. It’s wall, or nothing.
