Reports say migrant children are abused at U.S. military base Fort Bliss

El Paso, July 29 (RHC)-- Two whistleblowers have warned Congress about the dire conditions at the Fort Bliss military base in El Paso, Texas, where the government has set up large tents to hold thousands of unaccompanied migrant children. 

The whistleblowers say children are held in filthy conditions without adequate mental and health care.  In a statement, one of the whistleblowers, Arthur Pearlstein, said: “Gross mismanagement, waste, and abuse of authority by those at the top who insisted on utmost secrecy led to conditions for thousands of children at Fort Bliss that can only be described as constituting mistreatment.”  Pearlstein is a director at the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.
