MERKLEY PIDE UNA INVESTIGACI\u00d3N FORMAL DEL PRESUNTO ABANDONO INFANTIL EN LA FRONTERA"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, DC \u2014 El senador estadounidense de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, emiti\u00f3 un comunicado el jueves indicando que est\u00e1 pidiendo una investigaci\u00f3n formal de las condiciones de los ni\u00f1os en las instalaciones en la frontera entre Estados Unidos y M\u00e9xico.<\/p>\n<p>La declaraci\u00f3n sigue a los informes de la estaci\u00f3n fronteriza Clint en El Paso, Texas, que encontraron ni\u00f1os detenidos en \u201ccondiciones miserables y peligrosas\u201d, dijo la oficina de Merkley. El Senador ha apelado al Inspector General del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s) para que investigue si alguno de los funcionarios o personal de la agencia viol\u00f3 la ley que permiti\u00f3 que existiera esta situaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSi el bienestar infantil fuera a un hogar de acogida y encontrara ni\u00f1os con ropa sucia, pa\u00f1ales sin cambiar, sin jab\u00f3n ni pasta de dientes, esos ni\u00f1os ser\u00edan llevados y los adultos enfrentar\u00edan un posible enjuiciamiento\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cLos adultos responsables del maltrato desenfrenado de los ni\u00f1os bajo su custodia en Clint y en otros lugares deben rendir cuentas de manera similar\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Seg\u00fan la oficina de Merkley, los informes de Clint encontraron una larga lista de condiciones atroces: Ning\u00fan personal cuida a ni\u00f1os menores de 5 a\u00f1os; atenci\u00f3n infantil inadecuada, particularmente con respecto a la salud, el saneamiento y la nutrici\u00f3n; ning\u00fan esfuerzo aparente para unificar a los ni\u00f1os con sus familias; no hay suficiente espacio para los ni\u00f1os; demora irrazonable en trasladar a los ni\u00f1os a un entorno mejor; castigos arbitrarios; y trasladar a cientos de ni\u00f1os en los d\u00edas posteriores a que los informes de los medios expusieran esas condiciones, seguido de trasladar a 100 ni\u00f1os de regreso d\u00edas despu\u00e9s de eso.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLas razones de esta solicitud son obvias\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cExisten condiciones impactantes y pr\u00e1cticas del personal en las Instalaciones de Aduana y Patrulla Fronteriza que ahora se utilizan para detener a ni\u00f1os migrantes, en particular en la Estaci\u00f3n Fronteriza Clint en El Paso, Texas\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Merkley solicit\u00f3 que la Oficina del Inspector General proporcione una respuesta antes del 26 de julio.<\/p>\n<p>La declaraci\u00f3n inclu\u00eda una lista de citas que acompa\u00f1aban a una solicitud de orden de readiestramiento temporal presentada por defensores tras los informes de prensa de Clint:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>\u201cAqu\u00ed hay ni\u00f1os peque\u00f1os que no tienen a nadie que los cuide, ni siquiera a un hermano o hermana mayor.

Tengo tanta hambre que me he despertado en medio de la noche con hambre. A veces me despierto del hambre a las 4 am, a veces a otras horas. Tengo demasiado miedo de pedir m\u00e1s comida a los funcionarios aqu\u00ed, aunque aqu\u00ed no hay suficiente comida para m\u00ed\u201d. \u2013 Ni\u00f1o, 12 a\u00f1os<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u201cEl d\u00eda que llegamos, mi beb\u00e9 se enferm\u00f3.
