The decision established that minors at open-air sites were in #legal custody of the DHS & thus must receive #safe#shelter, even if they had not yet been formally processed.
The outdoor areas where migrants have been waiting lack #shelter, #food & #sanitation, which has given way to an array of #PublicHealth concerns for the most vulnerable. Unaccompanied #children & young #families sometimes arrive in poor #health, acc/to #aid workers & #medical volunteers at the sites, suffering from #traumatic injuries or chronic health conditions that require #medications that have long since run out.

His brain was sent to a #Veterans Affairs laboratory in Boston that is known for its pioneering work documenting chronic #traumatic#encephalopathy, or #CTE, in athletes.

In #Idaho, the ONLY exception to the #trauma of unnecessary #labor & delivery or #CSection is if the #woman’s life would be MORE at risk that way. In other words, instead of having minutes-long #abortions, #women will be forced by the state to endure major #surgeries or #traumatic vaginal deliveries, even if that seriously affects their physical & mental #health.
I don't know if I #suppressed it as a #traumatic memory and was subconsciously inspired by it, or didn't catch it when it when it made the trade news and independently thought of it, but ...
