Immigrant children allege abuse at Virginia detention center

WASHINGTON — Immigrant children as young as 14 housed at a juvenile detention center in Virginia say they were beaten while handcuffed and locked up for long periods in solitary confinement, left nude and shivering in concrete cells...

...Most children held in the Shenandoah facility who were the focus of the abuse lawsuit were caught crossing the border illegally alone. They were not the children who have been separated from their families under the Trump administration’s recent policy and are now in the government’s care. But the facility there operates under the same program run by the U.S. Office of Refugee Resettlement. It was not immediately clear whether any separated children have been sent to Shenandoah Valley since the Trump administration in April announced its “zero tolerance” policy toward immigrant families, after the lawsuit was filed.

This may have been posted before, but it did not come up in search, and it has been edited to add that it is not part of Trump’s separation of families issue since I read it this morning. Libs on fb have been relentless about this all morning. They are unaware it has nothing to do with what is going on now and actually was/is part of the Obama save the unaccompanied children chaos. The media is leaving out the dates, very conveniently in order to further the agenda and talking points. FAKE NEWS the way it is being reported!!

It is very important to read their propaganda, then when they spout the talking points so easy to counter. I read, I find out the truth, then I swat them like flies.

Send them to California’s 5th Congressional district.
Eric Swalwel (D) was just on Cavuto’s show saying that Trump is cruel. Let the loving people of his district take care of the refugees. All liberal congressional districts should be flooded.

Yes it is indeed fake news as reported to smear President Trump instead of inform the public about a lawsuit that concerns actions taken by the Obama administration. I am glad to see the Washington Examiner has an article pointing out the bias/propaganda.

It is a well oiled machine from start to finish to further the agenda of illegal immigration and open borders. They start by gathering up groups of illegals to make the trip...and are involved every step of the way through the process. Who exactly is behind it, it is hard to know- who is to benefit the most? From what I can tell it profits the open borders politicians, the businesses that hire them- and as a plus the chaos it creates when they flood the borders allows the cartels to be able to get a lot moved across the border while Border Patrol has its hands full with the swarm of illegals.

It was only a matter of time before these illegals were coached by activists/lawyers to scream “abuse”...and they were even given Abu Grhaib as the model.

I don’t believe it. And nor should anyone else.
