Children as young as 13 have been held in near-total isolation for days and even weeks at a time, without schooling, fresh air, or basic human contact. Experts say that kind of social deprivation is a “well-recognized” trigger for psychiatric consequences like depression, anxiety and psychosis.
The Competing Visions to Fix the Country’s Juvenile Justice Crisis
Some states keep adding beds in already troubled facilities, while others are trying alternative approaches to detention or keeping some children out of the system altogether.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.”
This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent.
He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

What the Trump administration is doing to Kilmar Abrego Garcia is despicable — whisking him off to a torturous prison in El Salvador, without due process, while lying through their teeth.

They didn’t vote for the reckless & lawless firing of thousands of veterans and military personnel—they want lower costs, a roof over their heads, and food on the table.
