Ex-official calls transfer of unaccompanied girls as young as 13, many pregnant due to rape, a human rights violation
All unaccompanied immigrant children who are pregnant, many by rape, are being moved to a single facility in Texas in order to avoid providing abortion services in a significant human rights violation, critics say.
As detainees are frequently moved across state lines quickly, often to red states like Texas, pregnant people are facing challenges accessing reproductive health care in detention centers.
Unaccompanied minors who lack immigration documentation are at high risk for trafficking and other forms of harm, so they fall under the care of the office of refugee resettlement (ORR), which previously had facilities across the country capable of caring for children under the age of 18 who are pregnant.
Supposedly… Or this is all just part of the whole American human trafficking game.
There was a 1 year old in one of the camps, and they’ve deported several children - some alone. Iirc they put a four year old through a trial she didn’t understand, with no representation.
