About Casa Libre
History
The Casa Libre/Freedom House is a historic mansion that was purchased by the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law Inc. in 1996. The overall goal of the program is to assist youth without homes to achieve stable and safe living conditions. The project focuses on providing services to unaccompanied immigrant and refugee minors who are homeless.
Structure
The program's expertise lies in the provision of shelter, social, educational, medical and legal services for homeless and detained unaccompanied minor immigrant children, who have often been abused, abandoned, or neglected in their home countries and traveled to the United States alone.
Focus
The programs offer a range of services, including case management, educational testing and placement, referrals to no-cost health care providers, drug and alcohol prevention programs, family reunification services, living skills and leadership workshops, free legal services, and cultural activities.
TRUMP LIES ABOUT HIS TREATMENT OF MIGRANT CHILDREN
During the most recent debate in Nashville on October 22, President Trump was not unexpectedly asked about his administration’s 2018 fiasco when thousands of young immigrant children were forcibly separated from their parents upon apprehension near the border. This unbelievably cruel and brutish policy was operated jointly by the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security. This was no rogue operation. Operation “Zero Tolerance” was something President Trump owns.
When asked about his Zero Tolerance policy during the debate, here’s what President Trump said: “Children are brought here by coyotes and lots of bad people, cartels, and they're brought here and it’s easy to use them to get into our country.” This statement was entirely false. Link to article.
