Migrant kids in overcrowded border facility report sex assault, retaliation from U.S. agents: NBC News
PHOENIX – Underage migrants held at the Border Patrol's holding facilities in Yuma, Arizona, have reported poor conditions, as well as allegations of misconduct and even sexual abuse at the hands of U.S. border agents.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's watchdog Office of the Inspector General released two reports earlier this month calling on Customs and Border Protection – the agency that oversees Border Patrol – to address serious problems with overcrowding and squalid holding conditions at Border Patrol facilities in El Paso and the Rio Grande Valley.
A 16-year-old Guatemalan boy alleged that after migrants made complaints about the food and water, the agents took away the mats in their cells, making them sleep on the concrete floor. However, President Donald Trump has as recently as Sunday called previous allegations of misconduct and poor conditions at other Border Patrol facilities"phony and exaggerated."
