I think it becomes very clear what we have to do: protect the refugees. Protect them. Don’t leave them on the bridge to go into heat stroke. Don’t leave them to miscarry a child after you’ve been gang-raped. I mean, what are we thinking that we would declare war and bring down total abuse on people that have just run for their lives?

This was the initial intention of the administration. To [cause] a ruckus, separate these people, and then when it came down to it, when the images became too horrific, to say, ‘Well, OK, well, we can keep them together. We’re just going to keep them together in jail.’

Trump is trying to say this isn’t their policy, the Democrats made us do it. One of his advisers, Stephen Miller, is actually saying, ‘It is our policy to do it.’ His head of Department of Homeland Security, Kirstjen Nielsen, is saying, 'We’re not actually doing it.’ And then Attorney General Jeff Sessions is saying, 'God wants us to do it.’ So, that’s where we are in terms of the responsibility here.

Meet the Migrant Child Detention Center Whistleblower Now Speaking Out Against Family Separations

A youth care worker who quit his job at a Tucson detention center for unaccompanied minors is speaking out about inadequate facilities, untrained staff and inhumane policies, after witnessing the devastation of family separations firsthand. Antar Davidson says he quit after he was forced to tell three tearful children who were separated from their mother not to hug one another. The facility is run by Southwest Key, a nonprofit that operates 27 facilities and has recently signed a lease to detain hundreds of separated children, including many who are a younger than 12 years old, in what’s being called a “baby jail” in a former warehouse and homeless shelter in Houston.

Antar Davidson told Democracy Now!:

“I realized that if I were to continue with Southwest Key, at least here in this facility, that I’d be told to do things that were… against the code of all humans’ morality… We’re not talking about an organization that was good. We’re talking about an organization that, for the past five years, has made millions of dollars in basically the detention of youth.”
