WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 Tras su visita a la prisi\u00f3n infantil de Tornillo el s\u00e1bado, el senador estadounidense Jeff Merkley (D-OR) y la representante estadounidense Judy Chu (D-CA-27) anunciaron hoy que presentar\u00e1n una legislaci\u00f3n bicameral: la Ley de Cierre de Campos de Prisi\u00f3n Infantil<\/i>\u2014cerrar inmediatamente la instalaci\u00f3n y otro refugio \u201ctemporal\u201d similar en Florida.<\/p>\n
Despu\u00e9s de que la delegaci\u00f3n de Merkley y Chu presionara a la Administraci\u00f3n durante el fin de semana, la Administraci\u00f3n Trump dio marcha atr\u00e1s a principios de esta semana en una pol\u00edtica clave que ha mantenido encerrados en campos de prisioneros como Tornillo a miles de ni\u00f1os que huyen de la persecuci\u00f3n en el extranjero. Ese cambio de pol\u00edtica hace posible trasladar a miles de ni\u00f1os fuera de detenci\u00f3n y a hogares y escuelas (muchos de ellos colocados con sus propios familiares), lo que hace imperdonable que la Administraci\u00f3n mantenga abierto Tornillo.<\/p>\n
\n"Fue absolutamente escalofriante ver a los ni\u00f1os encerrados en una prisi\u00f3n de tiendas de campa\u00f1a aislada y desolada en el desierto", dijo Merkley. \u201cLos ni\u00f1os pertenecen a los hogares, las escuelas y los parques, no detr\u00e1s de alambres de p\u00faas. El dinero de nuestros contribuyentes se est\u00e1 utilizando para traumatizar a los ni\u00f1os manteni\u00e9ndolos en un campo de prisioneros para ni\u00f1os en lugar de en los brazos de sus familias. Esto es malo. Necesitamos cerrar Tornillo y poner fin a la guerra de Trump contra los ni\u00f1os\u201d.<\/p>\n
"Lo que vi y aprend\u00ed en Tornillo fue impactante e indignante", dijo Chu. \u201cMiles de ni\u00f1os que huyeron de horrores y soportaron un viaje dif\u00edcil est\u00e1n siendo alojados en una ciudad de tiendas de campa\u00f1a en el desierto, vigilados por personal que no ha tenido que pasar por una verificaci\u00f3n de antecedentes, y se les proh\u00edbe incluso caminar de tienda en tienda sin la supervisi\u00f3n de un adulto. . Esto hace que los ni\u00f1os sean vulnerables al abuso, plantea serios desaf\u00edos de desarrollo y corre el riesgo de volver a traumatizarlos, lo cual tendr\u00e1 consecuencias a largo plazo. Lo peor de todo es que esta es una decisi\u00f3n que tom\u00f3 esta administraci\u00f3n. Los ni\u00f1os no acompa\u00f1ados han sido y pueden ser entregados a sus seres queridos o familiares que velar\u00e1n por su seguridad y bienestar. En cambio, Trump est\u00e1 fomentando la xenofobia y manteni\u00e9ndola en el desierto en manos de personas no capacitadas para cuidar ni\u00f1os. Los ni\u00f1os no deber\u00edan tener que sufrir da\u00f1os durante toda su vida debido a una decisi\u00f3n pol\u00edtica que est\u00e1 tomando Donald Trump. En pocas palabras, esta instalaci\u00f3n y la de Homestead, Florida, no deber\u00edan existir y deben cerrarse de inmediato\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Actualmente, aproximadamente 2.800 ni\u00f1os est\u00e1n encarcelados en Tornillo. De ellos, m\u00e1s de 2.000 han estado detenidos en Tornillo durante m\u00e1s de los 20 d\u00edas exigidos por la Flores<\/i> asentamiento. La gran mayor\u00eda de los ni\u00f1os detenidos a largo plazo tienen patrocinadores que se han ofrecido para acogerlos en Estados Unidos (la mayor\u00eda de los cuales son familiares de los ni\u00f1os) y aproximadamente 1.300 de esos patrocinadores ya han aprobado una verificaci\u00f3n de antecedentes. <\/p>\n
La Administraci\u00f3n Trump hab\u00eda creado un retraso administrativo de meses al exigir que cada adulto en un hogar patrocinador se sometiera a una verificaci\u00f3n de antecedentes de huellas dactilares del FBI antes de que un ni\u00f1o pudiera ser transferido a su cuidado. Esta semana, tras la presi\u00f3n creada por la delegaci\u00f3n durante el fin de semana, la Administraci\u00f3n Trump dio marcha atr\u00e1s en la pol\u00edtica de toma de huellas dactilares que ha creado largos retrasos en la liberaci\u00f3n de ni\u00f1os.<\/p>\n
En junio, la Administraci\u00f3n tambi\u00e9n dio marcha atr\u00e1s en su pol\u00edtica de separaci\u00f3n de ni\u00f1os tras la protesta creada por los viajes de Merkley a la frontera el 3 de junio y el D\u00eda del Padre, el 17 de junio.<\/p>\n
En su visita a Tornillo el s\u00e1bado, Merkley y Chu, junto con las senadoras Mazie Hirono (D-HI) y Tina Smith (D-MN) y el representante Beto O'Rourke (D-TX-16), solicitaron hablar con algunos de los ni\u00f1os que han estado viviendo en Tornillo, para escuchar directamente de ellos sus experiencias al estar encarcelados all\u00ed. La solicitud fue denegada por el Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos de la administraci\u00f3n Trump.<\/p>\n
A pesar de que la tienda de campa\u00f1a lleva m\u00e1s de seis meses en funcionamiento, la administraci\u00f3n Trump ha seguido design\u00e1ndola como refugio de emergencia \u201ctemporal\u201d, lo que le permite evadir las regulaciones destinadas a proteger a los ni\u00f1os. Homestead, otro refugio \u201ctemporal\u201d en Florida, tambi\u00e9n ser\u00eda cerrado por la legislaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
