A federal judge has ordered US Customs and Border Protection to permit health experts into detention facilities holding migrant children to ensure they're"safe and sanitary" and assess the children's medical needs.
Inside a Florida migrant facilityThe order encompasses all facilities in the CBP's El Paso and Rio Grande Valley sectors, which are the subject of a lawsuit. 'use strict';CNN.Videx=CNN.Videx || {};CNN.Videx.mobile={};CNN.INJECTOR.executeFeature.then {CNN.VideoPlayer.
Video shows border patrol agents reviving migrant teen 00:48Last week, lawyers asked US District Judge Dolly Gee to hold President Donald Trump's administration in contempt and order immediate improvements at the facilities. The lawyers are part of a team of doctors and advocates that warned last week of what they said were major health and hygiene problems at Customs and Border Protection facilities in Texas following visits to the facilities.
The sandwich shop feeding migrants waiting at the border 02:53The judge cited a July 2015 order chronicling"widespread and deplorable conditions in holding cells" and a June 2017 order documenting"unsanitary conditions at certain CBP facilities.""Plaintiffs claim that CBP has continued to commit many of the same violations years later," Gee wrote.
Castro: Trump likes to terrorize immigrant families 01:51"I am in a room with dozens of other boys," a 17-year-old told lawyers fighting for the migrant children."Some have been as young as 3 or 4 years old. Some cry. Right now, there is a 12-year-old who cries a lot. Others try to comfort him. One of the officers makes fun of those who cry.
‘Bout damn time the system is waking up to do something about the overwhelming problems the Congress has caused by Not doing anything to help POTUS and VP with the Border Crisis!! America Will Prevail MAGA FixAmericasBorder
What, they haven't been doing this already?
This looks better than the homeless camps I have seen in SF, LA, Seattle, Portland ! Garbage is missing, S.. t all over the streets missing. Needles missing!
cnn is damaging to america. only news agency i know off that bring damage to its own citizens and countryman. cnn should be banned!
CleantheWorld has 500,000 brand new soap bars and other hygiene amenities ready to ship out to the border. We are asking for help in finding addresses for us to ship to or warehouse space around the area.
Free the children!
Never trust thy enemy, we all know what the white devil did to the native Americans with smallpox in the blankets and we can’t forget the Tuskegee experiment on African Americans, giving them syphilis. Judgement is coming from God u devils, u reap what u sew
The democrats have the right idea. Concentration camps will help solve the border crisis. Just advertizing is not working so why not install a few crematoriums. Bet that will solve the border problem.
If we installed a crematorium or three then these migrants would stop coming. I agree with the democrats, if we have real concentration camps it will help solve the border crisis.
Tim Ryan. What a goof! Thinks the U.S. should involve itself in trying to stableize central america. Make it safe so migrants will want to stay. Democrats will say anything if they think its going to get dumb peoples vote.
Send them back to mexico to wait. Done.
This is a much more truthful report about the border.
Are doctors going to inspect the homeless encampments that are in LA, NY,SF,portland, Seattle and in every community in the US? What about OUR poors? What do they get?
Makes me wonder what more horrors are going to come out!
As long as it’s not that fruitcake who was Trump’s personal physician.
If only we cared so much about these children before 2016... identity politics 👌
And about time too! Trumps Concentration Camps need closing!
They are in US hands. Of course it’s their responsibility
This won’t go away and we in the social media won’t let it happen!!!!!
There is still hope in the system, that's all that I can say for now!!
And just who determines « these experts »?
Good decision from a good judge.
And😒 is Los Angeles, CA USA 😠
So why the hell haven't doctors been allowed this all along? These children might be part of an illegal immigrant invasion,but they're still children for gods sake! As such they deserve decent treatment and care!!!
💘 US District Judge Dolly Gee
The order does no such thing. It only order the parties to expedited mediation. READ IT. We depend on you to get this news right!
Yesssss休息休息
thank you Obama for causing all these problems
Thank you to the courts!
WHY r we keeping themTheir parents are... WHAT? Arrested? Sent back to own countries? Apply for citizenship and separated from kids until it’s approved?WHY are we housing these children? Would rather turn them away WITH parents then separate/raise them in makeshift orphanage.
You need a court order for this? How f’d up is that? Richest country in the world...laughable you’re a joke
What kind of country is this when it has to be ordered? Trump must be impeached now and what the hell is wrong with the Republicans if they all lost their minds are they all unAmerican
They could have stayed home? They chose to come for a free ride. Millions have died for this country. They can either wait, or rush the border and deal with the consiquences. Thats on them.
Thank you CNN!! I've been looking for word. Harris & NK seem to flood everything.
For the $750.00 a day they could be in a trump motel with free breakfast.
God bless this judge that he feels something got to be done to treat this children and protect them remember they are just childrens.
Sad that it takes a court order for citizens of a 'Christian' nation to care for children. Shameless invokers of the sanctity of life when it isn't their families.
It’s about time!

Send the children back to their home countries now! They are not our problem to take care of! We have our own people to take care of
About time!
Why is this something that needs to be ordered..
terry_beach Soon, right? Should have been done already!
These judges are anti American. They won’t let the government fix the problem and they create the mess and then judge the mess they created
Must be a liberal judge he never did that when Oblamba was in office lol
Today World Baby News~ Paradise of Bicycles In the Netherlands, many people in their 10s and 20s watch smartphones if they ride a bicycle and drive a smartphone from today. From today in the Netherlands, don't ride a bike and don't touch your cell phone.I will pay a fine.
Trump is making America into a dictatorship 3rd world country fast. The very rich, the very poor, and nothing in between. If treating children this way does not matter then why would anyone else?
Why the hell arent they letting people in to investigate WE KNOW WHY.
If conditions are as bad as the 'kids' say they are than the leadership of the detention center must be held accountable. However, that is no reason, argument or excuse to release them into the US without going through the proper immigration process.
“The judge cited a July 2015 order chronicling 'widespread and deplorable conditions in holding cells” I’m sure most people glossed over this fact. This in fact was going on during the Obama years.
About time
I am sure inspectors won’t make it political ...
You all do realize that most government workers are liberal or democrats right. So if any thing bad is going on in a daily routine that it's the daily workers to blame. You all seem to think Trump is the only person there. It's the daily workers that are there.
So the facilities were cited in 2015 and 2017 for unsanitary conditions. Who was president then? And why wasn’t the media on top of that?
Let’s move them all to the Hilton, ha! The Dems would still figure out a way to complain.
This illegals have cero healthcare in their country!That answers the question why r they dying!
patty_hawthorne Thank you Federal Judge. While I was at it I’d check for physical and sexual abuse of these children. They stopped doing background checks on frontline staff almost a year ago.
This is barely being done? That's a concentration camp then
Make sure it's not trump doctor realDonaldTrump
This should have been done a long time ago, without the order of a Federal Judge.. In fact, Trump should have ordered it to be done.
Plenty of time to clean up.
Why wasn't this done sooner?
Wasn't Acosta just there a few months ago saying everything was a-ok? I thought this was a manufactured crisis...
Needs to be random inspections
This must not be one of the crooked judges the Republican/Trump and Turtle-head McConnel have been polluting the judicial system or the concentration camps would have continued unchecked.
It never should have come to this. They are human beings and that is how they should be treated.
They would most likely be safe and sanitary with their parents... you know...the one’s they were kidnapped from...those parents...yeah.
What’s your definition of “health expert”?
Yes, this is necessary. What a Federal Judge should also issue is to have health workers access the care of American's in this country who live in poverty. There are plenty of American's who face deplorable living conditions but I guess CNN can't cover that.
We still gonna be able to do that when they're inside the military base at Guantanamo Bay?
where they been!
There should be 24 hour camera feeds so someone can keep an eye on them and document any abuses. (Accessible only to reputable authorities, so as not be to used for the pleasure of those who enjoy watching children suffer. Disgusting thought, but they exist).
TheGREATHoudin2 What’s been the holdup?There’s no excuse. Privately owned doesn’t mean, someone can house children without having to be accountable, for the way kids are being treated. If a daycare we're suspected of abuse, someone would be on them like stink on 💩why not these people? 🙏🐒🌹
We are missing the point entirely. Come thru the proper channels. Any child brought in illegally, it is the fault of the adults bringing them.
Question remains though, would these children have access to medical assessment if they were simply let go? Would they be in “safe and sanitary” conditions if allowed to simply cross? What was “safe and sanitary” about their trip to illegally crossing?
People of Brazil today held a large demonstration of support for President Jair Bolsonaro and demanded of his Congress more agility in approving measures against Corruption, and in Pension Reform. Our country continues to evolve every day. 🇧🇷🇺🇸
Good. However why has this taken so long? Honest to God, thought we were going to have to call in Doctors Without Borders.
So sorry, but why do Americans, many without health care themselves, have to pay for this? Millions goingvto take xare of ILLEGALS. Stop them from coming, or send them home. We're tired of paying!!!!
If a parent treated their children the way refugees are being treated by the TrumpRegime they would be arrested. ChildAbuse TrumpConcentrationCamps TrumpCausedThisBorderCrisis
Now send 'health experts' to check out homeless citizens on the streets of Los Angeles.
Cue Donald Trump to criticize this judge as an “Obama judge”.
Who is choosing the “Health Experts?”
realDonaldTrump It took a federal judge to order this? What kind on monster are you? TrumpConcentrationCamps
INTERNATIONAL doctors only! NOT HHS!!!!
This should be the RED CROSS AND THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION AND THE UNITED NATIONS, NOT TRUMPS HAND PICKED HHS!!!!
rayleengale What bothers me the most about having kids living like they were thrown away like trash We treat convicter rapists and murderers better than these kids snd families. 900ppl in a wing for 150!. No clean clothes to wear showers are moldy. Food not thrown away when spoiled. Neglect
If they refuse. Time for Federal Marshall’s to step in and arrest ICE. These are now trumps Gestapo. They are now deporting military personnel who have served. Stopping Americans 100 miles from southern borders. Allowing vigilantes to detain immigrant at gunpoint. Time to move in
that’s mean
realDonaldTrump said that his primary “health expert,” Dr. Josef Mengele will be visiting the concentra.... oops, detention camps, to ensure everything was OK. If there was a question of “sanitary” concerns, Dr Mengele would make sure the children were given showers....
OK, is this going to be a one time shot or regular inspections? It doesn't take a lot to clean up for an inspection and then let it go to hell in a handbasket again. There absolutely needs to be regular inspections. Let's get some clarification.
Yes time to prove the fake news wrong
You need to go to our prisons they haven’t been safe for 100 years but you worried about illegal immigrants WAKEUP
Of course they are not. They're stuffed beyond capacity because one party (the dems) and all their crony media all said a few months ago that it was a manufactured crisis and Trump was making it up so they refused to act/help. Now we're supposed to believe it's Trump's fault.
somebody needs to do it.
Sad that it took this.
And this was all happening during obama's presidency but obviously CNN wouldn't have reported on that.
The money is going to people running the camps.... I fear it is not going to help the people who need it. The rich get richer.
Barr tried to interfere. He needs to go!
About goddamn time, but I expect Trump to challenge in court.
Please, and thank you!
Please listen to DrBurkeHarris, as she can inform you of the tragic trauma these children are going through!
It is sad that in America in 2019, we need a judge to order our border patrol to allow experts to assess children being held prisoners to ensure they are treated in a safe and sanitary manner. It shouldn’t require a judge to order this, but it’s the era of Trump & Republicans.
I know DOJ and WH are readying the NDA's right about now, but I hope they could go in with hidden cameras for the sake of humanity, just to shoot down DJT's Nobel PP ambition, for good.
Let em keep laying in filth..better than where they come from
As long as it doesn’t include health “experts” that think realDonaldTrump is “healthy.”
Does America want to known for this?
They should tour the Illegal migrant rout their parents sent them on to travel north.
It’s about freaking time!! Those poor children never deserved that treatment! We can have reasonable immigration laws and still be humanitarians!...
As it should be.
Who is paying for this so call health experts
Will he please do the same for the streets of San Francisco?
Where's the Red Cross?
I was honestly beginning to fear the system was failing in every way. This gives me hope.
Queue the Trump cult sheep excuses coming in 3, 2, ..... ImmigrationReform MAGA2020 TrumpCausedThisBorderCrisis
Well that was a big waste of time under Federal mandate they already are under the scrutiny of medical professionals it may not be the left-wing radical medical professionals but they are people from oh I don't know Jon Hopkins Mayo Clinic Children's Hospital Cincinnati etc.
Where is the UN?
It’s about fucking time!
Why in the world does it take a Federal Judge to issue a court order to check the health and well being of children? We have become so desensitized.
That's great. Now what if CBE and ICE ignore the directives of the health experts? This is the way this admin has treated oh, CONGRESS, so far? Who's to stop them?
It’s about time
At least some humanity
They are over crowded, what do you expect to find. Real question. Does the US Customs and Border Protection have the authority and resources to fix problems Like bed space
Oh brother.. takes a judge Thank Pelosi.. and other dimwit democratic leaders for the mess..
Finally!! Hope this Federal Judge will follow-through on what is expected to be 'deplorable conditions'!! FREE these kids & reunite them w/their parents!! The families are asking for asylum-grant this quickly, so they can all continue their lives in peace. 💔💔💔
A judge ordered kids to be reunited with family too, that done yet? These for profit gulags going to sell them to predators like Trump( his would be free ofcourse. But we have a GOP full of them.. they get caught, nothing happens. Bastards , traitors, sex offenders.. the GOP.
And this is happening NOW? LoL you people in power really like to sit on your ass and do nothing
Finally.
Don’t under report and don’t fail humanity again
Great News!
Good idea. It will prevent the Nazi ICE and Gestapo Border Patroll from harming the migrant kids
NAPNAP has been raising warning flags on the care of children in these camps. We will continue to step up to assure their safety
Cool
Federal judge is an idiot 😡
Thank GOD & U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee
Christian concentration camp looks like guantanamo bay!
Omg... take them out of there then! 🤭
Trump and his Admin are cruel old f*cks that need a lesson in life. Their grand pappies were treated better as migrants looking to America for a better life in the early 1900s. Good thing Trump will be drop kicked out of the WH on Jan21 2021.
Great, but it's a sad statement that we need a court order for it.
So CNN. Wondering whether those same Health officials were allowed in in 2015. Asking for a friend
Thank you.
All those migrant childrens need of all medicals cares
if somebody calls the police and reports a possible child abuse on a neighbour's house, they will come, knock the door, and check the conditions... I don't understand why the Politicians don't ask the police to go inside with them and check for the children's safety.
That should have been happening all along......
Thank god, someone that is willing to get some help into these facilities
Should have already been done. Take care of those kids.
I'm sure realDonaldTrump and DonaldJTrumpJr will retweet this repeatedly.
When Jesus said Suffer Little Children 2 Come unto Me Did He mean Humiliation was A Hedge 2 B Free, Childhood is suppose to be A happy part of life Is this the Part Is this The Price, Somebody didn't tell the kids and their Hope is Hid
I don’t get it, why in the world does a federal judge have to do anything regarding the health conditions of these temporary holding cells that have become overwhelmed. None of the reporters that visited these locations needed a court order, why do doctors need a court order?
Migrants isn't the word illegal immigrants is the correct term . Come legally and enjoy the benefits of this nation.
Good .very good. It's appalling whats happening in these detention centers this great country should be treating these people with respect and care ... THEN DEPORT THEM BACK TOO THERE COUNTRY AND GO THRU THE PROPER PROCEDURE TOO INTER THIS COUNTRY We are a nation of laws
I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT IN AMERICA A JUDGE WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THIS!!
Why weren't they before? Cuz they are privately held. We need to stop private companies to profit off of this.
Assess. Does that mean treatment?
SpacialK3 RT
Glad someone is sane in our government
About f’n time.
