Amnesty International released a report claiming Homestead, the country’s only for-profit detention facility housing migrant children, should be shut down for “violating the human rights of thousands of unaccompanied children” by lisettevoytko
Thursday claiming it should be shut down for “violating the human rights of thousands of unaccompanied children.”
Homestead is run by Comprehensive Health Services , a part of the Caliburn holding company; Caliburn refused to give Forbes a comment on their report, instead directing us tothey wrote to Amnesty on July 10.
The Amnesty report claims that children’s rights are violated by being housed at Homestead—a temporary shelter—instead of following the standard practice of placing them in licensed, permanent shelters. Child migrants, the report said, averaged stays of 52 days at Homestead in March when the law mandates temporary shelter stays of 20 days or fewer.
In a Thursday press conference, House representative and Office of Refugee Resettlement subcommittee member Rosa DeLauro said, “Homestead is not a home for children. It is an industrial line for processing mass numbers of children, and not in their best interest,” she said.

Report: How About You Tell Us The Goddamn News For A Change?CHICAGO—Daring you—yes, you, who thinks they’re so smart—to show us how you’d fare in the world of rigorous long-form journalism, a short brief published by The Onion Wednesday encouraged you, dear reader, to go ahead and tell us the goddamn news for a change. “Hey, Captain Informed Citizen, if this is so easy, then why don’t you go out there and do some research, huh? What, are you too good to get a notebook and fetch us some sort of huge scoop?” the report read in part, going on to challenge you to find story tips, follow them up, reject the ones that don’t pan out, ferret out sources on the hot leads, confirm your facts, reject your biases, and see the story through editing and on to publication for once in your pathetic life. “You think you can hold a candle to America’s Finest News Source? Uh huh. Right. Put up or shut up, pal. We’re waiting with bated breath for your Pulitzer-winning investigation. Seriously, though? Jackasses like you who repost news on social media and take the ‘experts’ on Reddit at face value? All while refusing to pay for real journalism? You’re the ones responsible for the death of this industry.” The report concluded by requesting—no, daring—you to fill the blank space that follows with something you’ve done that, in your oh-so-worthwhile opinion, qualifies as decent journalism. Go.
