Let their parents provide what they need. I’m providing for my own! If they can’t do it they should have stayed home!!!!!!

DOJ Argues in Court That Sleep, Toothbrush and Soap, Are Not Required for Detained Migrant Children (Updated)

June 22, 2019 Lenny Ghoul 

Department of Justice Lawyer for the Trump administration, Sarah Fabian was in court Tuesday to appeal a 2017 ruling that said the administration had breached the Flores settlement by failing to provide safe and sanitary conditions such as adequate food, water and essential hygiene products like soap and towels, and had limited access to bathrooms, even making detainees sleep on cold concrete floors with a foil blanket in near freezing temperatures.

According to The Washington Post, the Administrations argument is that the Flores Settlement “didn’t say anything about providing a toothbrush, towels, dry clothing, soap, or even sleep,” and so they can’t be in violation of the Safe and Sanitary conditions clause because those specific conditions or items were not enumerated in the agreement.
