If those things were taken from them that's a different story.

If the administration is denying basics like soap, blankets, toothbrushes, mattress when detaining them, that is child abuse.
Arguing that these things are not needed is the proof that the desire here is to harm the children. It shows a hard, and imho, evil heart.

Well, I have to agree with the OP. I read the whole article below regarding what ORR does for refugee children, and...no toothbrushes or soap.

If Trumps own words are not enough to convince you what a despicable person he is, and we have all heard plenty, straight from the horses mouth, then nothing will. It is you whose eyes and ears are closed.

It's somewhat justified when "pro-life" politicians demonstrate total disregard for children and pregnant women being bombed / droned to death, are all for cutting programs like WIC, etc.
No one officially holds that position, but there are people who act like they do.

Here's a better article. Frankly, as far as sleeping on thin mats on concrete floors, with emergency blankets used in hiking packs, was established a long time ago as the truth and nobody, including the government, is saying it isn't.
Feds Tell 9th Circuit: Detained Kids 'Safe and Sanitary' Without Soap
Washington Post have an article as well but it's behind a paywall for me so I can't really recommend it, although I think it's probably accurate. This is pretty cut and hard.

Are the kids cold or are their beds warm enough? In summer, I would welcome cold concrete, and I'm not kidding. My only point is the media making this sound worse than it is, all for their pathetic little agenda. But thanks, I'll look at the article. I only wanted to make clear what I was, and had every reason too be concerned about.
EDIT: "the media" AND those here that cry wolf way too often.

Can someone help me out with this from the linked article?:
"On Tuesday, Fabian asked the Ninth Circuit to reverse Gee’s findings because they added new requirements – such as giving detainees soap and toothbrushes – that were not specifically included in Flores."
Was that as it appears, and it was taken care of three days ago?

How comfortable is concrete?
This is an AP article:
Migrant Children Describe Neglect, Mistreatment At Texas Border Facility | HuffPost
I can only quote one line per the rules regarding AP articles. This is one of the ones that bothers me:

She said an 8-year-old taking care of a very small 4-year-old with matted hair couldn’t convince the little one to take a shower.
That is neglect on the part of the caretakers, which Border Control and Immigration and the Trump administration as the children are detained.

If you read the article and also find the video of the discussion between the judges and the admin's lawyer, you will find it is not a new requirement.
The judges are incredulous that soap, etc, is not considered needed for a safe and sanitary conditions.
The judges heard the argument the administration's lawyer made. I suspect, from their shocked responses, the judges will not agree with the administration.

Short sighted.
Are you convinced folks here, as well as the media have tenancy to not only blow things out of proportion, but sometimes much worse, giving others good reason to be careful and not to believe everything they hear right off the bat?

I actually commented on that in my last post but deleted it because I wasn't sure I understood correctly, so thank you.

Minute 1 in the 'supporting' video shows immigrant kids sleeping on cushions, on clean tile floors, covered with space blankets, in uncrowded conditions.
Also it looks like the mats the kids are sleeping on were provided.

Like for the past year in places like Texas, since about April 2018. It gets cold at night in Texas. It can get cold in winter in AZ - I know, I lived there over 30 years. The desert can be cold at night except in the summer.

The DOJ is arguing that shorter term children migrants do not need the cushions etc. The video is of some longer care ones.
