Who said the U.S. government isn’t listening when the community demands that immigrant families not be broken up, that parents and children shouldn’t be separated?

Anna Gorman of the Los Angeles Times reports that ICE has solicited bids for three more family detention centers, to house 600 men, women, and children:
“Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued a call for proposals last month and set June 16 as the deadline. New facilities are being considered on both coasts and on the Southwestern border. The agency calls for minimum-security residential facilities that would provide a ‘least restrictive, nonsecure setting’ and provide schooling for children, recreational activities and access to religious
services.”

From the mouths of babes: My 10 year old, the MapucheRican wondered if it wouldn’t be a better use of money to build more schools, to keep children out of jails instead of locking them up.
