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.

    Just 9 more months until Americans learn the midterms aren’t going to solve their issues and they can find a new excuse not to stop the rape/death camps <3

    The amount of evil is just unfathomable. Fucking hard to grasp how they can get up every day just a little bit more evil than the last.

    It’s like these people spend all day every day looking for ways to make their evil behavior a little more evil.

          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.

      Well, the Furher has decreed that birthright citizenship is verboten, so these mothers can be forced to give birth, and then when the stateless babies are deported they can pad ICE’s deportation stats. A win-win proposition! (For everyone but the people whose lives are being ruined, but this Administration does not care.)

        And people who care about the rule of law, and the American public at large since it’s actually immigrants that made America great, contrary to the dipshits’ delusion.

          But if you are not actively aligning your political views with the Administrations’ priorities, aren’t you a domestic terrorist anyway?
