A Texas shelter housing child immigrants who are separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border is reportedly overcrowded, highly structured, and full of murals featuring President Trump. The Casa Padre shelter in Brownsville was opened up to a group of journalists Wednesday for the first time since the Department of Homeland Security announced a controversial new family separation policy. According to MSNBC reporter Jacob Soboroff, who live-tweeted about his tour of the shelter, visitors are almost immediately greeted by a massive Trump mural featuring a quote that reads, "Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war." Soboroff said on Twitter that similar presidential murals are "everywhere" throughout the facility. Nearly 1,500 boys between the ages of 10 and 17 are currently held in the facility and reportedly get only two hours a day of fresh air. Despite Trump's oft-repeated claims that his immigration crackdown is necessary to stop MS-13 gang members from getting into the country, officials at the shelter said they'd never encountered an MS-13 member, according to Soboroff.
