Workers won't face charges after they were seen on video dragging and shoving immigrant children at a privately run shelter in Arizona.
FILE - This June 20, 2014, file photo shows a Southwest Key program sign in Brownsville, Texas. Authorities in Arizona say workers who were seen on video dragging and shoving immigrant children being held at a privately run shelter won't face charges. The Maricopa County Attorney's Office said Friday, March 29, 2019 that there's no reasonable likelihood of proving the workers at a Southwest Key facility committed a crime.
Prosecutors said none of the three children sustained physical injuries; there was no evidence of intent to injure the children; and they didn't share any feelings with investigators of being ill-treated. The incidents occurred in September and were investigated by the sheriff's office, which initially didn't recommend that charges be filed but later reversed course when the Arizona Republic newspaper obtained the videos.
"Today's news is an important step forward as we resume our work in Arizona," said Geraldo Rivera, vice president for immigrant children's services at the nonprofit. "I'm proud of the progress we've made together in the last few months."
