The Biden administration abruptly closed a shelter in Houston for unaccompanied migrant girls this weekend. ABC News reports there were multiple allegations, including girls being forced to spend most of their day on cots and having to use plastic bags to relieve themselves.
One can’t help but be reminded of a statement by Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki who was asked in February about something Former President Trump had said.
“We don’t take our advice or counsel from former President Trump on immigration policy”, Psaki said.
“We’re gonna chart our own path forward, and that includes treating children with humanity and respect….”
That seems to include forcing children to relieve themselves in plastic bags.
A White House spokesperson told ABC News that the site was closed because it “did not meet the Biden administration’s very high standard for child welfare.”
ABC reports: The National Association of Christian Churches (NACC), a Houston-based organization with its roots in disaster relief, was awarded a $4 million contract to operate the warehouse despite having no record of caring for unaccompanied migrants.
In a statement to ABC News on Sunday, Dean Hoover, a spokesperson for NACC, sought to redirect blame toward the Biden administration — who NACC claimed had control over the site after bringing in its own subcontractors.
“NACC officials were personally requested by HHS Secretary [Xavier] Becerra and President Biden to open the doors of their large Houston facility to refugee children on an emergency basis,” Hoover said. “It is deeply hurtful and unfair to the folks at NACC that anyone would now think of criticizing them when all they were trying to do is be good Samaritans and help the HHS help these children.”
In recent interviews with the Houston Chronicle, Jose Ortega, NACC’s founder and president, claimed that his organization had not sought out this work — but rather that Becerra had personally “begged” him to accept the contract and house the children.
“I’m a humble pastor that was thrown into this mess without asking for it,” Ortega told the newspaper. “We were not looking for a contract, we were not applying for a contract for us to make money — this was thrown on us.”
Ortega also pinned the deterioration of his group’s facility on the government’s failure to provide funds.

sleepy joe must be impeached & removed from office without any further delay for his viscous crimes against humanity.
President Donald Trump has never ever committed any crime against humanity, nor ever disrespected humanity:- On the contrary:- I simply cannot think of a more gracious President.
The headline of this post needs a comma after the word “Biden” like so:
“WATCH: Inhumane Biden,
Shelter Housing Illegal Immigrant Minors Abruptly Closed After Serious Allegations”
The filthy treasonous socialist godless DemonRat party, hoisted on the American people a demented Alzheimer diseased treasonous America hating hair sniffing pervert as President.
In four years from now ,at the end of this administration,this country of ours will not be recognizable .we will be another Venezuela or Cuba.
Stop them from coming in, and you won’t have to house them when they’re here. My “give a darn” is broken.
If Mr Ortega’s organization was not up to the task, then don’t do it whether there’s pressure or not. It’s no help to the children.
Could we please show Ms Pesaki the ABC News video of the facility and the treatment of the girls, then let her explain how Biden is treating children with “humanity and respect and ensuring they’re safe…”
Can anyone let us know what we’re supposed to do with all these immigrants other than provide them with health care, welfare, jobs etc which should go first to Americans??

If we impeach joe we’ll have to deal with kamala
How can the Psaki/Harris administration continue to stuff little helpless minority children into cages meant for house pets?!
Chugibugi: When you posted your first childish anti-Biden rant about 2 months ago, it was marginally entertaining. After multiple repetitions, it is both stupid and boring.
