Thought for the day

“Are you arguing seriously that you do not read the agreement as requiring you to do something other than what I just described: cold all night long, lights on all night long, sleeping on concrete and you’ve got an aluminum foil blanket? I find it inconceivable that the government would say that that is safe and sanitary.”
Judge William Fletcher
[Such items are] “within everybody’s common understanding that if you don’t have a toothbrush, if you don’t have soap, if you don’t have a blanket, it’s not safe and sanitary. Wouldn’t everybody agree to that? Do you agree to that [asking the Trump DOJ attorney]?”
Judge A. Wallace Tashima

Federal circuit court of appeals judges respond to the Trump Administration claim that it is “safe and sanitary” to deny immigrant children beds, blankets, toothbrushes or soap, among other “amenities.”
