We know there's been tons of fuckery in the past. They're going back to 2014.

This could be illuminating if there is actual transparency.

 

House Republicans probe HHS office in charge of migrant children

 

Republicans on the House Energy & Commerce Committee are probing the Department of Health and Human Services on its treatment of migrant children in its care.

The members asked for answers to a series of questions about children in ORR custody, including: how many are in ORR custody as a result of being separated from their parents or families; does ORR have the resources to properly care for the high number of children being transferred to their custody; what steps is ORR taking to track and address issues of abuse within HHS funded facilities and what medications is ORR authorized to administer.

The committee also investigated ORR in 2014 after a series of reports detailed allegations of abuse of minors in custody.

"Given HHS' historical difficulties in properly caring for [the children], the committee believes that additional scrutiny of ORR is warranted at this time," the members wrote.

The members also asked for all copies of contracts or grant agreements since 2014 between HHS and private companies that house the children, as well as any reports that relate to allegations of abuse of children in the custody of ORR from 2017 to the present.

AG Sessions Is Rewriting Asylum Regulations

 

Vox reported that read a draft of the regulation, which could be enacted by the end of the year:

Under the plan, people would be barred from getting asylum if they came into the US between ports of entry and were prosecuted for illegal entry. It would also add presumptions that would make it extremely difficult for Central Americans to qualify for asylum, and codify — in an even more restrictive form — an opinion written by Sessions in June that attempted to restrict asylum for victims of domestic and gang violence.

The rules would deny asylum to Central Americans who did not seek asylum in Mexico, to people who enter the country illegally, and would narrow the definition for membership of s persecuted group, such as victims of spousal abuse or gang threats, according to Vox.com.

 

The rewrite may help deter and prevent most migrants from exploiting the 1997 Flores settlement and other “catch and release” loopholes which are now being used by huge numbers of Central American to move into the United States.
