Children sleeping on concrete, covered in feces, mucus, urine, without adequate food and water; subjected to extreme temperatures; held in pens with the lights on 24 hours per day. Children in conditions that physicians say are “tantamount to intentionally causing the spread of disease.” In one holding facility, agents appointed a child “boss” in a cohort of detainees to keep the other kids in line, in exchange for extra food rations. Migrants were kept under a bridge in El Paso, where toddlers and pregnant women slept on gravel and were bombarded by pigeon droppings; men were warehoused nearby in an open-air “human dog pound.'
