yup, they appealed a decision in Federal Appeals Court and lost.
The appeal claimed that it's obligation, by a 1997 law, "to detain children in safe and sanitary conditions doesn't necessarily entail providing them with soap, towels, showers, dry clothing or toothbrushes". Seriously?
forget everything else surrounding the existence of these detained children, this is not about how they came to be...
but how to define sanitary conditions should be widely accepted.
Also questioned in Trump's attempt to rewrite the 1977 "agreement regarding the treatment of children in immigration detention" in addition to personal hygiene items was "proper sleeping conditions, reasonably comfortable temperatures, and adequate food and drinking water".
Many will divert this no-brainer into a discussion blaming the parents for getting the kids into this. Been done to the tune of a zillion words here. I'm just talking about the reality that has resulted. I knew nothing of the court decision nor appeal, encouraged by the decision being upheld, and disgusted by those questioning the definition of basic sanitation for children in the first place.
