“Ethnic Cleansing In Plain Sight!
This Is Fascism. No hyperbole. Fascism.
Even if, to some lacking conscience, it isn't self-evidently morally wrong, imprisoning children is, in the language of public health research, an "Adverse Childhood Experience." Researchers have determined three categories of ACEs: abuse, neglect, & household dysfunction. Being imprisoned implicates all 3 categories of ACE. The more of these experiences that children are exposed to, the more likely they are to experience a severe, negative health outcome. These experiences are associated with increased risk of ischemic heart disease, stroke, suicide, depression, COPD, alcoholism, liver disease, cancer & more.
I know that the tRump administration is aware of the overwhelming scientific evidence around trauma. When the administration 1st announced it was moving to terminate the Flores Settlement, I helped organize clinicians through Kids Don't Belong in Jail to submit comments in response to the draft rules. Hundreds of highly qualified experts told the administration in excruciating detail the ways in which children would suffer life-long harm as a result of being imprisoned in immigration detention facilities. But this administration doesn't care about the overwhelming epidemiological evidence. We are harming, perhaps irreversibly, an entire generation of children who fled to us, begging for our protection.
