Videos showing shelter staffers apparently pushing, shoving migrant children under review for possible criminal charges

 

YOUNGTOWN, Ariz. -- A case regarding the alleged abuse of migrant children in a Southwest Key shelter will be referred to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office for review and to determine whether criminal charges will be filed, according to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.

 

The news comes after the Arizona Republic obtained surveillance videos through an open records request that show staffers pushing and dragging migrant children in a shelter operated by Southwest Key, the nation's largest provider of migrant children shelters.

 

According to the newspaper, the incidents took place at the Hacienda Del Sol shelter in Youngtown, Arizona, in mid-September and involved three children and numerous staffers.

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office initially told CNN it investigated the allegations but determined the actions did not rise to the level of criminal charges.

 

But the office changed its mind and said in an updated statement released Sunday: "Based upon the evidence gathered during this thorough investigation, MCSO executive command has made the decision to submit the case to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office for its review and determination of criminal charges."

 

The case will be submitted on Monday, the sheriff's office said.

In a social media conversation several months past, a former local government official argued against Trump administration policies at the U.S. southern border. 

 

People crossing the border illegally were just looking for a better life, after all.

I asked if that same philosophy translated to the government for which he worked. What laws, I asked, could an individual ignore locally if that person was in search of a better life? Unsurprisingly, no answer was forthcoming.

Illegal immigration is a case of “Let’s Pretend,” as in, let’s pretend some laws don’t matter, let’s pretend crime matters when our ideology says it should matter, and let’s pretend politicians we like are being honest about whatever it is they happen to be saying at the moment regardless of how much it differs from what they’ve said in the past.
