The contract for a temporary housing facility for immigrant children in Tornillo, Texas in the US was set to terminate August 13, "but now the government is planning to continue using it to shelter children for yet another month, according to a spokesperson for the Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families," says this article from the Huffington Post. The facility opened in June 2018 on a temporary basis "but operations were extended from July to at least Aug. 13" and now beyond. On the wellbeing of the children in these facilities, separated from their families, state Senator José Rodríguez remarked “You see it in their eyes, you see it in their conversation, and it’s not a good thing. It’s clearly an inhumane policy to maintain kids in these kinds of shelters."
