After Rep. Massie & I flagged to the DOJ that they had redacted the names of six men who were allegedly incorrectly accused of crimes, they have now unredacted the identities of those men and some women.
The problem remains that the files the DOJ received were scrubbed by the FBI in March.

Prisons are for people who've been CONVICTED of crimes.
Most people in these warehouses - without proper food or sanitation or worse - haven't even been CHARGED with crimes.
And thousands are CHILDREN.
