Today is Donald Trump’s birthday. As a special gift to the Atrocity-condoner in Chief, Chrissy Tiegen sent out this tweet.

This message comes on the heels of the first reporting of conditions inside a child detention centre, by and MSNBC reporter, where 1500 boys, ages 10-17 have been torn away from their parents.

This shelter, Casa Padre, is the largest licensed childcare facility of its kind in the country. Nearly 1,500 boys 10-17 in here now. They’re supposed to sleep four to room. Nearly every room has 5. They’ve received a variance from the state because of overcrowding.

Kids here get only two hours a day to be outside in fresh air.
One hour of structured time.
One hour of free time.
The rest of the day is spent inside a former Wal Mart.

Starting to get some handout photos from our tour with @HHSGov.
Here’s the Trump mural I mentioned to @chrislhayes inside the shelter for incarcerated child migrants.
Also their beds and the towels they shower with. pic.twitter.com/EPEQ1VGAAF

Today, Trump will likely be celebrating with the song, “Happy Birthday”. No doubt there will be some kind of party in his honor and he will surrounded by family and “friends” and extravagances that most people cannot even imagine.
For immigrants and immigrant children who wanted to celebrate with the song that boasts of “the home of the free”, there will be no such party.
We need to take a stand against the inhumane actions of the Trump Administration.
