There seems to be a focus on children and teens ....... and detention centers? The first article describes a curfew being enacted in Baltimore, MD. In the second article, a disturbing report of migrant children being sent without their families to a detention center in Arizona from the Mexican border. The last two articles claim a mass influx of unaccompanied child migrants are being sheltered at military bases.
Strict Baltimore curfew places minors in detention centers past bedtime

Saturday June 7, 2014 -BALTIMORE, MD — The City Council of Baltimore voted to create one of the most stringent government curfew systems in the nation. Under the new restrictions, youths will be legally permitted to appear in public for only a few hours per day.
Police may seize them on sight and take them to detention centers where they will be interrogated by social workers. Parents face stiff fines and jail time if their children are discovered in public during curfew hours.
The ordinance passed the city council in a 13-2 vote last week, in favor of enhancing Baltimore’s curfew policies. Supporters championed it as a step forward for safety and order.
Daytime Curfew
7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on weekdays — People under 16 years old subject to detention.
Evening Curfew
9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. any night — People under 14 years old subject to detention.
10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. on weekdays — People ages 14-16 subject to detention.
11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. on weekends and summer nights — People ages 14-16 subject to detention.
Without explicitly doing anything wrong, younger Americans can be scooped up by police officers and detained just for showing their faces in public. They will be involuntarily taken to juvenile detention centers which the city affectionately calls “connection centers.”
While the minors won’t be arrested, their parents may be. Possible penalties which may apply to parents of curfew-breaking children include $500 fines, mandatory family counseling sessions, and even up to 60 days in jail. The ordinance can be read on the Maryland ALCU’s website.
Once taken to the curfew centers, students will be questioned by social workers without their parents present. They will be examined for reasons to justify further government intervention in their families.
“The child will be assessed by a community connector that determines if there are educational needs, substance abuse or counseling needs,” said Angela Johnese, who works for the mayor’s office.
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake says she intends to sign the city council’s bill. Eventually she would like to place a “connection center” in each of the nine police districts.
Over 1,000 migrant children sent to Arizona from Mexico border because 'detention centres full'

Saturday June 7, 2014 More than 1,000 migrant children are being sent without their families to a detention centre in Arizona from the Mexican border as authorities are overwhelmed by the number of arrivals.
Jan Brewer, the Republican Governor of Arizona, said she was “disturbed” by the news and claimed her administration had not been notified of the plan.
She called the policy “dangerous and inhumane” and blamed Barack Obama’s government for failing to address an increase in illegal immigrants and provide for them after their release into the US.
According to the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs, 432 children were transported on Friday and another 734 over Saturday and Sunday.
An unknown number of adults is expected to join them.
Conditions at the facility, in Nogales, were so dire that federal officials asked the state to urgently release stores of medical supplies and send them to the centre, according to Governor Brewer’s spokesman.
In some cases, families who cannot be detained are reportedly dropped off at bus stops across Texas and Arizona with orders to attend meetings with immigration officials at a later date.
The governors of Texas and Arizona have written letters to the Government asking them to stop the practice but it looks set to continue.
Rumours of illegal immigrants being freed if they have children has reached Central America and could be driving up numbers trying to enter the US.
Sen. Inhofe: Forcing Military Bases to Shelter Illegal Immigrants Threatens National Security

Saturday June 7, 2014 - President Barack Obama's administration is forcing a military base in Oklahoma to shelter illegal immigrant children whom officials in Texas cannot handle, and Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK), the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, thinks that will only encourage more illegal immigrants to flood into the country and create national security concerns.
After the Obama administration informed the Fort Sill military base in Lawton, OK, to expect about 600 illegal immigrant children to be sent to its facilities this weekend, Inhofe noted that the Obama administration is making military bases care for illegal immigrants while Obama is "drastically reducing defense spending funds at a historically rapid rate."
Influx of unaccompanied child migrants exposes strained system

Tuesday June 3, 2014 - A surge of unaccompanied minors crossing into the U.S. illegally is spiraling into a full-blown humanitarian crisis trapping thousands of children in political stagnation over immigration reform.
The administration is running a triage operation to combat the issue, scrambling to shore up funds and find facilities to shelter the massive influx of children who are crossing the U.S. border illegally in numbers that are expected to swell into more than 60,000 this year alone.
The facilities to shelter the children are already brimming at maximum capacity. Last month, officials began shipping the children off to a special shelter at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. The facility was equipped to handle 1,200. As of Monday, there were already 1,000 minors being housed there, White House officials said. Later this week, officials will begin sending youths to a new shelter at Naval Base Ventura County along the southern California border. The shelter is equipped to take on 600 children.
Surge in kids illegally crossing into U.S. alone strains Border Patrol

Thursday June 5, 2014 - According to the draft memo’s estimates, agents and officers will apprehend more than 90,000 unaccompanied children on the border this year, rising to 142,000 in 2015. By contrast, there were fewer than 40,000 caught last year.
The numbers represent a stunning percentage of the illegal crossers — and only account for those caught. An unknown number get by the Border Patrol and make their way into the interior of the country.
But the official acknowledged the large increase in unaccompanied children crossing the border and the intense steps being taken to combat it.
