Whistleblower Details Abuse of Migrant Children at Fort Bliss Base in Texas
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A new whistleblower complaint is denouncing the ongoing abuse faced by
unaccompanied migrant children held at the Fort Bliss military base in
El Paso, Texas. Buzz Feed reports children were burned after bathing in
blistering water, had their blood drawn without explanation and were
constantly threatened with deportation. This is the third complaint
detailing unsafe and brutal conditions at Fort Bliss, where the Biden
administration set up large tents to hold thousands of unaccompanied
migrant children.
