Day 158 at Homestead began differently. A child escaped from the detention camp. So much for the fairy tail that it is like a summer camp. There were so many prison employees on foot, in golf carts, unmarked cars, marked cars, and trucks. They must have eventually caught the child, as things got back to normal. That is if you can call anything at Homestead normal. The place is surreal. We had a family of 3 who arrived from Michigan today. Also witnesses from Maine, Colorado, North Carolina, and from Florida. We didn’t see as many children outside, perhaps due to the run away child. Some did play soccer. A damning report on Homestead came out today from Amnesty International saying that it should be shut down. Traffic is way down now as many employees were told to park at Homestead Speedway, where they board large busses that take them to and from the camp. Next week there will be an oversight hearing at a sub-committee of the House of Representatives on Child Detention. Over 10 members of the sub-committee were admitted to the camp (of course after giving notice) earlier this week to gather some information. There was a lot of media. Thank you to all the witnesses. Come on down to Homestead if you can. Pray for the children!
