Migrant young women that are being held at US-Mexico detention centers near the US-Mexico border are bleeding through their pants and are being forced to wear the same clothes.

Earlier this week, 19 states filed a lawsuit against the administration of Donald Trump and the Department of Homeland Security’s Standards for Detaining Migrant Children.

In the lawsuit, it states that children are living in appalling conditions.

A number of children were an interview in the lawsuit, and they described their time at the detention centers as “uncertain”.

In the lawsuit, it states, “The children described their time in CBP facilities as filled with uncertainty since most of them were not told how long they would be kept in detention or what would happen to them next.”

A young girl in one of the detention centers said that she didn’t take a bath for 10 days while she was on her period.

During the interview, the girl said authorities only gave her 1 sanitary pad per 24 hours.

Another young girl was an interview, and her conditions were much worse.

The girl said she was forced to wear dirty pants that had blood marks.

The lawsuit said, “Although the guards knew they had their periods, they were not offered showers or a change of clothes, even when the other girl visibly bled through her pants. This girl had no choice but to continue to wear her soiled underwear and pants.”

The detention centers only offered aluminum blankets for warmth.

It is reported that kids who came in with extra clothes had their clothes confiscated by immigration officers when they came in, and when they asked for the clothes, officers refused to return them.

Another huge issue that was reported in the lawsuit is that the Detention Centers were so crowded that young children could not sleep properly due to insufficient space.

It is reported, “there was not enough room for everyone to lie down at the same time.”

It also reported that children in detention centers do not have proper access to toothpaste, toothbrushes, private bathrooms, basic sanitary needs, soap, and more.

During a press release, Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson said that the prison-like conditions in the detention centers could have long-term impacts on the mental and physical health of the kids.

During the press release, Furguson added, “The Trump Administration’s new rules unlawfully permit federal officials to detain children and families in unlicensed facilities without adequate standards of care to protect the safety and well-being of immigrant children.”

The investigation that interviewed the kids above was conducted by an investigation supervisor in the Civil Rights Division.
