Migrant kids held in hotels before deportation
YUMA, Ariz. ( KYMA, KECY) - The Trump administration is detaining immigrant children as young as one-year-old in hotels before being deported to their home country.
A private contractor for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is taking children to three Hampton Inn & Suites hotels in Arizona and at the Texas-Mexico border, where they are detained for several days.
The hotels have been used nearly 200 times, while more than 10,000 beds for children sit empty at government shelters.
