Virginia Dems want answers on alleged detention center abuse

Virginia Sens. Mark Warner (D) and Tim Kaine (D) have questioned the Trump administration following an explosive report in The Associated Press detailing abuse allegations against a detention facility in their state.

The AP on Friday reported that Kaine and Warner sent inquiries about the Shenandoah Valley Juvenile Center to the U.S. Office of Refugee Resettlement’s director.

Warner and Kaine asked if employees who take part in abusing the young migrants receive disciplinary action and inquired about prior accusations, the report said.

The AP on Thursday reported that a lawsuit filed against the facility includes abuse allegations from young Latino migrants, some of whom were detained for years.

While the report noted that the migrants were not among the children recently separated from their families at the border, the news comes as the Trump administration faces the fallout from its “zero tolerance” immigration policy.

President Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order permitting families to remain together, but the administration is still dealing with backlash against the policy.

Given it says they were detained for years, that must mean under Obama.

These abuses happened during King Barack I’s Reign of Error. He should be held responsible, not Pres. Trump.

Where were Virginia Sens. Mark Warner (D) and Tim Kaine (D) when this was happening during the Obama administration?

He was going to play the evil clown in the movie IT, but test screenings creeped out audiences way too much, so he had to stick to his day job.

This should give Corey Stewart plenty of advertising material.

Senator and Failed VP candidate Tim Kaine blamed Donald Trump for childhood separation and rough treatment that occurred in 2015, during the Obama Administration. Do you still really trust him to be your Senator?

If the Texas dems haven’t informed the Virgina dems yet... Stormy Danniels is on the way with jobs, her x-attorney arrived earlier. Planned Parenthood is helping too. Just incase their services are needed...

THE Party directed action from its Party members to blame Trump for something. The Party members obeyed.

That's because it never happened under Obama.

That's the media's story, and they're sticking with it.

The Associated Press reported Thursday that six Latino teens had made sworn statements detailing severe abuse they said they endured between 2015 and 2018, under both the Obama and Trump administrations.

https://apnews.com/1431cd66fc6b478da47e1e3b00209ad3/Dems-seek-info-about-Virginia-facility-after-abuse-claims

So the abuse began during the Obama administration and the Obama administration did nothing to stop it.

Now President Trump has to solve another Obama administration screw up.

Why is Tim Kaine only learning about this now?

Was he too busy running for VP that he didn't care about Latino children?
