Conditions of a detention center in McAllen, Texas were reported to be abusive to the undocumented children that were being held there by the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol. When word got out, no photos were permitted to be released.

Images were finally released by the groups running these centers. Considering these photos were released with the intention to put their best foot forward, it was surprising to see these children being kept in cages and sleeping on mats on the floor with foil blankets.

The government then released an even more shocking video where you can hear the cries and screams from young children over footage of kids being moved between cages and locked up.

The Associated Press began sharing details on what they could report. A highlight from their write up includes information from a 16-year-old girl who took on the responsibility of taking care of other children she had never met before over multiple days.

Government representatives began involving themselves in this issue but efforts were inconclusive.

6.

Hundreds of people gathered to protest the mistreatment of these children.

7.

But concerns for the status and well being of these children were still unclear.

8.

Consistent updates were not provided, however, bits of what seem like horror stories continued to surface.

Some even gained national attention like Trump's former campaign manager remarking "womp womp" in response to a young girl with down syndrome being separated from her mother and detained in this center.

10.

And the government is still unapologetically abusing the rights of these young human beings.
