Donald Trump’s administration is concentrating all pregnant children being held in federal immigration enforcement custody into one group shelter in south Texas, a state where abortion is outlawed with no exceptions for survivors of rape or incest.

Since last summer, more than a dozen pregnant minors, some as young as 13 years old, have been moved to a facility in San Benito along the U.S.-Mexico border, according to a joint investigation by The Texas Newsroom and The California Newsroom, citing sources within the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Department of Health and Human Services.

The agency is responsible for children who entered the United States without a parent or legal guardian or who were separated from their families by immigration authorities.

Their detention at the Texas facility deviates from longstanding federal policy, which has typically placed unaccompanied minors into ORR shelters or foster homes that can handle high-risk pregnancies. But legal advocates and care providers fear the administration has concentrated those girls into a poorly equipped Texas shelter, even if they were detained in other states, to ensure they are denied access to abortion care.

1. What will they do to/with them after they give birth?

I just can't fathom....

3. Beat me by a minute

2. Hmmm, what is he doing with the babies born in these facitlities?

[Javaman]

8. All sorts of rumors swirling about what happens

None of which are no where near good

5. Under his eye

This is some real Handmaid's Tale shizzle right here.

9. I don't think the Handmaid's Tale went far enough

to describe the evil of trump and epstein. I've read some of the files, memos, emails, etc... and I can tell you at 70 years old now, I just can't fathom it... let alone get my head around how long the shit has been going on. What it's done to my heart and soul is beyond words...

13. Same but I feel compelled to read and learn ...

… it’s almost like I feel they deserve us to read about them and what happened. Those babies likely never had names and died as newborns but they deserve to have people care that they existed.

It is still surreal. I can’t fathom what those monsters did - and that the DOJ has hidden their names and faces.

6. Sickening. Completely unsurprising.

Why would anyone expect this administration to do any less?

[Gaugamela]

7. This sounds like an extension of Epstein's plan. Get a bunch of underage immigrants

pregnant and wait till they give birth, then send them with their babies who knows where to spread your awesomeness all over the Earth.

10. When democrats take over congress, we need to raid that place and put those kids

somewhere they will be safe from the trump pedos.

Fucking pedo republicans!!!!

11. Trump like them young......or so I've heard.

[SunSeeker]

12. This amounts to horrific child torture.

How is this barbarity legal?

[Bayard]

14. It looks like it was Kennedy's idea to send these girls to states where abortion is outlawed

I'm assuming most of them became pregnant after arriving in the U.S., and many are victims of rape.

Cruelty rules.
