Children returned to horrific border station

About 250 migrant children were moved from the overcrowded Texas border station after lawyers granted access by a judge said the children were "severely neglected".

The New York Times reports the 100 children were transported back to the facility after it made changes to alleviate its overcrowding. They had been held there for weeks.

The children do not have a toilet or soap to wash with.

The top US border official meanwhile has said he is stepping down.

Though he’s not stepping down in protest, he has defended the organisation he has worked with.

Donald Trump is posting a new US border official and is not contrite about the conditions of these children.

The border stations are not designed to house children and are suffering from the surge in migrants.

Something needs to be done to end this, but nothing is forthcoming.
