the Defense Department awarded a $23 million dollar contract to construct a “Contingency Mass Migration Complex” at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Station”
According to the Q&A attached to the solicitation for that award, the contractor specifically inquired about holding migrant children at that facility and was told that several migrant children have in fact been held there within the past few years.


With the government running out of space to detain migrant children, the Trump administration has floated GITMO as a solution and the award specifies that children and families may be detained at the GITMO facility under the terms of the contract. https://www.fbo.gov/utils/dZip?base=cdfcf19ad2e8f7541f38c41ceb6bf6c9&class=document_package_archive&id=025cf3182db7dc43f0ac5d8368995e67 …

The former utility lawyer who led much of President Donald Trump’s rollback of pollution regulations will leave the Environmental Protection Agency — a move that comes after he provided conflicting information to Congress about his connections to the industry, three sources knowledgeable about the matter told POLITICO.

EPA air pollution chief Bill Wehrum’s ties to his old law firm and especially the Utility Air Regulatory Group, an influential collection of coal-heavy utilities that lobbied against climate regulations, drew scrutiny from House Democrats, who launched an investigation in April. POLITICO reported in February that 25 power companies and six industry trade groups agreed to pay the firm a total of $8.2 million in 2017, the same year President Donald Trump tapped Wehrum to join the EPA.

Wehrum has said he represented only the group, not its member utilities, some of which he had met with in his role at EPA. But people with knowledge of the case said actions taken by his old law firm, Hunton Andrews Kurth, have led congressional investigators to believe that the utilities were also clients, in which case Wehrum may have violated his ethics agreement.

The Clint facility and others have been heavily criticized after lawyers, doctors and advocates warned of what they called major health and hygiene problems.
"The kids had colds and were sick and said they didn't have access to soap to wash their hands. It was an alcohol-based cleanser. Some kids who were detained for two to three weeks had only one or two opportunities to shower," Clara Long, a senior researcher for Human Rights Watch, has said of the Clint facility.
"One said they hadn't showered in three weeks. Hygiene and living conditions like this creates a risk of spreading infectious disease. It makes me very concerned about the public health emergency."

Recent allegations of perilous conditions in Clint have also been referred to Office of the Inspector General and Customs and Border Protection Office of Professional Responsibility, the CBP official said Tuesday.

"There is no greater opportunity than that of helping children reach their fullest potential as they grow up."
