by mail@democracynow.org (Democracy Now!) from Democracy Now! on (#3T866)
While reporting from the U.S.-Mexico border, Democracy Now! saw firsthand how migrant children separated from their parents are being sent around the country. We spoke with an airport worker who described children being brought in early in the morning in order to be flown out to other states, and raised concerns about how they are being treated. "The oldest I have seen is 10 or 11 years old. " The youngest is maybe 5," he says. "They are sitting there silently. " I feel kind of heartbroken. They are very, very young kids."
