ICE to open call center to help track migrant children for removal

Source: ABC News

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement plans to establish a "National Call Center" in Nashville, Tennessee, to help law enforcement track unaccompanied migrant children for potential removal, according to an agency contracting document.

In the notice posted to a government contracting website on Tuesday, ICE officials said there is an "immediate need" to establish the call center, which is expected to receive and process "6,000 to 7,000 calls per day" regarding the locations of minors.

The move comes amid the Trump administration's effort to target unaccompanied migrant children as part of its broader immigration crackdown.

Last month, the Department of Homeland Security sent a notice to legal service providers saying it is offering unaccompanied migrant children a "one-time resettlement" stipend of $2,500 to voluntarily depart the U.S.

Informing on children?? Who have already been through so much! There is a sickness in America's soul now. Who ARE these expected 6 or 7 thousand callers a day? Nothing better to do with their lives than help further immiserate and traumatize unfortunate children? I hope that call centre fails miserably.

With faces covered, no ID, and the recent reports of criminals posing as ICE agents (legit or not) these cases need to be treated like the actual kidnapping and abduction they are….

Well, we know the price of rightwing racism, bigotry, and hate.

And what part of unaccompanied child do conservatives not understand – where exactly are they supposed to go; $2,500 isn’t going to keep them save from gangs, violence, and child trafficking.

The fascist right is truly reprehensible.
