The Trump administration said Wednesday it will suspend legal aid programs, recreational activities and English classes for unaccompanied migrant children jailed in federally run immigration centers. The move drew condemnation from human rights groups, including Amnesty International USA, which wrote, “It’s bad enough that the Trump administration is trying to normalize the warehousing of children. It’s unconscionable that they would so blatantly try to strip them of their rights. Locking up children and then denying them legal aid, education, and even playtime is all part of this administration’s cruel efforts to dehumanize people who have come to the U.S. seeking safety.”
