6/ The federal shelter system was set up to house and help reunite "unaccompanied" immigrant children with family in the U.S., usually after the kids crossed the border alone.

Now the system has been turned on its head. The administration is “creating unaccompanied children," one advocate told us.

5/ Over and over, all over the country, that's all it took: a traffic stop.

We counted around 150 kids who ended up in federal shelters — oftentimes separated from their families — because they were in a vehicle that got pulled over.
ICE Sent 600 Immigrant Kids to Detention in Federal Shelters This Year. It’s a New Record.

The oil industry had assets in Venezuela. They had to leave the country when Venezuela took possession of them. I don’t know that those oil companies would be willing to risk their money again just because this administration wants them too.

We were already there and it did not turn out so well. I’m not sure oil companies would have the appetite to go back in after their assets were seized last time around.

There is no reason for holding him for 50 days. None!!! It’s not a brief detainment as Kavanaugh excuses. 50 days to keep a child from his mother. Shameful!
