I woke up to Scarborough so outraged, he SAID he was setting up a fund to get food, diapers, toothbrushes and soap to this facility down on the border. I had heard about the SOAP and TOOTHBRUSHES mandated by a judge but I sure as hell missed all of the rest of this story.
All this apparently started rolling out from an AP story on FRI or SAT.
‘Somebody is going to die’: Lawyer horrified after witnessing chaos, illness and danger at migrant child jail in Texas

Outrage is mounting over a shocking Associated Press report published late last week revealing that at least 250 migrant infants, children and teenagers have been locked up for nearly a month without adequate food, water or sanitation at a Border Patrol station in Clint, Texas, near the city of El Paso.
Lawyers who visited the facility described a scene of chaos and sickness, with children unable to shower or change into clean clothes for weeks on end. The AP report came the same week that the Trump administration argued in federal court that the government is not required to provide toothbrushes, soap or beds to children detained at the border, and as other reports found similarly squalid conditions at a number of immigration jails. We speak with Warren Binford, a lawyer who interviewed children detained at the Clint, Texas, facility.
