State and federal agencies are investigating conditions at an Illinois shelter following a Washington Post report that included allegations of abuse against children separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services office of inspector general and the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services have each opened a probe of Casa Guadalupe, a shelter in the Chicago suburbs run by the nonprofit Heartland Alliance, the shelter said Friday.

Four children said shelter employees had made them do chores, including scrubbing toilets with their bare hands. An 11-year-old boy from Guatemala claimed he had been roughly dragged off a soccer field. A 10-year-old from Brazil said he had been denied medical attention after breaking his arm. The 10-year-old and another Brazilian boy, age 9, said they had seen a shelter employee repeatedly give injections to an unruly 5-year-old from Guatemala named Adonias, after which the boy became sleepy.

Of course, these complaints and other can all be traced to Trumps' 'zero tolerance policy' and separating kids from their parents:
"His comments echoed those of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who responded to questions about the allegations this week by telling reporters that we would not be in this situation if President Trump had not instituted what is, quote unquote, the zero tolerance policy.
We would not be in this situation if the last FOUR Presidents had enforced the laws.
Will they post again children in cages from Obamas 2014 presidency and re label them. When a US citizen criminal is caught do they take the children with him or her to jail too? stop the nonsense go the frig home
While they’re at it can they please investigate conditions for children separated from their parents, while in the womb? And, investigate sicko Hollyweird pervs who tweet disgusting tweets about children?
Can we get agencies to investigate these conditions??
How about the conditions in dragging them across thousands of miles of desert and in the company of drug runners and child molesters?
By the way, A 10-year-old from Brazil
When exactly did Brazil become a 3rd-world shothile that people need to be refugees from?
I want to find out who coached them in case I ever get arrested and charged with a crime.
According to a recent CNN article, the smugglers seek out those who have relatives already in the US. Smugglers allow some to pay their debt of many thousands of dollars, with interest, once they are here in America. They either enforce collection here in the US through their network of enforcers, or they threaten remaining relatives ‘back home.’ Either way, US residents, legal and illegal, are funneling huge sums to smugglers.
So how to get out of paying that money? Get the US government to pay the debt instead. The game is to complain and sue the US for ‘mistreatment’ hoping to be rewarded with even more money to pay for more relatives to be smuggled. The US should declare immunity from any claims that are not a gross example of neglect.
(P.s., the boy in the story with the broken arm broke his arm when he fell from a train. His father not only didn’t get him medical treatment in Mesico, he failed to report the incident when they were caught by Border Patrol - which in any state would qualify as child neglect and abuse. Kids with severe emotional development problems brought over the border have been sedated, but any sedation is done under supervision of the State by a licensed doctor’s order and administered by either a licensed doctor or licensed nurse.)
