America failed my family and community when it locked us inside camps for years. Have we learned? I ask because detention camps hold over ten thousand kids. Today.

This story. "Hundreds of migrant children have been roused in the middle of the night in recent weeks & loaded onto buses with backpacks & snacks for a cross-country journey to their new home: a barren tent city on a sprawling patch of desert in South TX." https://t.co/YdgiAAF3za pic.twitter.com/AKc0bMMqHl

I seriously doubt if there is a unified database that includes each child, his stats, parents, and location, personal health data.
The system seems to be "lets just move them" and worry about the data latere.

Eleven weeks ago, the administration was supposed to finish reunifying families it separated at the border. Eleven weeks on, families are still waiting and wondering when they'll see their loved ones again. Every additional minute they wait is an injustice.
