Attorneys ask court to intervene against the United States over migrant kids' detention conditions

- A 17-year-old Honduran migrant described babies sleeping on a cold floor. A teen mother said her sick baby was unable to open her eyes for two days but no one responded to her pleas for help. Another teenager took charge of a 5-year-old stranger because the small child was very upset and had no one else after being separated from her father.

The filings, which include dozens of declarations from the children, come after attorneys and doctors last week visited Customs and Border Protection facilities in South Texas to monitor compliance with the settlement, known as the Flores agreement.The visitors to the facilities found children held for weeks without access to soap, clean water, showers or even a change of clothes, the attorneys wrote.

“Immediate judicial intervention is necessary to compel immediate compliance with the Agreement, end this health and welfare crisis, and prevent more illness and child deaths at the border,” the filings said. But there are now 178 children in border patrol facilities who have been there longer than the limit of 72 hours, U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette said she was told by HHS on Wednesday.

True

What crisis Bernie!!!

Is illegal immigration a criminal offence in the US or not ? Whether Sanders likes it or not isn't the issue.

Perhaps Bernie we should treat them the same way we treat babies in this country.... Oh wait, we kill them! Oops that's not going to work; the dead can`t vote (excluding Chicago)!

I agree that they should be treated with compassion. That doesn’t mean they can cross the border, no questions asked. We need to know who they are. Otherwise, we open the door for every child trafficker, drug smuggler, tax evader and wanted criminal. All are not welcome here.

It appears Bernie needs to start using a cane or walker. He needs to hold on to something to stand up and sit down. He uses a railing and even people to steady himself when he walks. Falls at his age is dangerous.

BernieSanders but they are entering the United States illegally

Dude, it is unlawful to sneak across the border. They commit FIVE TIMES as many felony offenses as the common citizen. FAIRImmigration

That's true.

If they crossed the border illegally, they are criminals. They are all criminals by our law, not emotion. The only question is what other laws have they broken in addition to? When your hand is in the fire, you dont argue how hot it is or isnt, you put the fire out.

Yes they are if they came here illegally. The fact that our laws are archaic is our fault. That they broke those laws is their's.

So people can break into Bernie Sanders and your home and they will not be criminals. Say Bernie if he wins president

Wrong they are our enemy

🤦‍♂️ Someone go sneak in and camp in Bernies house. 'Illegally entering a nation' is a cirme to any rational mind.

So illegally trying to enter a country is not a crime now?

Parents need to be held accountable for their actions and the dangerous situations they willingly put their children in. Period.

The system is the enemy and we need Democrats to get on board to fix it, why won’t they help, why don’t they care?

Literally no one has ever said that “detainees are out enemies” 😂

Trump paints everyone he doesn't like as 'enemies', yet he has secret meetings with Putin and love letters with Kim Jong-un, our REAL enemies! How the GOP managed to brainwash an entire party is astonishing!

Who said they were?. This old argument of if your not pro open borders you must be xenophobic is so out of date and ignorant.

Yes they are. They broke in to oi4r country without authorization. Once they are vetted and approved for asylum or citizenship are they considered 'good people'. PROTECT US CITIZENS FIRST!

Well, they are criminals for crossing the border illegally. Dont give me that 'they are asylum seekers' crap either. BuildThatWall Deport

but SenSanders is.

I thought you had to wear all white for this photo op?

Tell that to the 4 ISIS members just caught attempting to cross into the US Thankfully they got caught in South America, and not in Texas, because they would have been let go in California Speaking of, how is that woman in the wheelchair doing? Her 3rd rape by the same illegal?

Pandering alert

Poor Democrats running out of NXIVM sex slaves and slave labor

At last!!!!

Why did parents or other adults bring their children to such conditions? They are the ones who should be prosecuted.

Funny how attorneys just show up now when they smell money

Somebody needs to do something............

I have absolutely no empathy for people who pay thousands to criminals and put their children in the hands of them.

So send them back?

Good!!! Force the dims 2 act !!!
