U.S.A. - Americans and Hispanics including immigrants residing in the U.S. have the economic empowerment to stop the political financial support to the Trump re-election campaign by not shopping and spending their hard earned money at Home Depot, Menards, Walgreens, Uber and Walmart, which are a few major corporate merchandise and retail providers that support Trump and his immigration policies to keep undocumented children in cages and detention facilities with deplorable conditions by the U.S. border.

It has been reported by the mainstream media and watch group of attorney's that visited the camps that children held in "tent cities" also known as concentration camps are being treated inhumane and lacking the basic hygiene necessities (children have been denied toothpaste and soap) 

prompting ICE to move some of the children to other detention centers after it was exposed that children were denied the basic hygiene needs. U.S. Department of Justice Attorney Sarah Fabian representing the Trump administration recently argued in a federal court that undocumented children held in camps are not entitled to certain hygiene necessities (soap, toothbrushes including toothpaste, beds) and etc. The federal judge thought otherwise.

BBC reported that in July 2017, US District Judge Dolly Gee found the Trump administration had breached the 1997 Flores agreement by not providing migrant children with appropriate food or hygienic supplies, housing them in cold facilities without beds.

Children are been held in crowded (over capacity conditions) sleeping in concrete without beds, children taking care of infants, children subjected to sexual abuse, harsh treatment, neglect and unsanitary conditions including lack of medical attention and treatment that have led to multiple deaths of undocumented children from Central America.

Under the Trump administration, 10 undocumented immigrants died in 2017 and 12 died in 2018, which the tally does not include the deaths of two Guatemalan children in Customs and Border Patrol custody and reported deaths for 2019. Jakelin Caal Maquin, 7, and Felipe Alonzo-Gomez, 8, died within weeks of each other in December. Nor does it include the March death of a 20-month old girl, Mariee Juárez, nearly two months after she was held at an ICE family detention center in Texas with her mother. Her mother is now suing the government, alleging neglect, NBC News reported.

Also undocumented Carlos Gregorio Hernández Vásquez, 16, from Guatemala died in May at a Texas detention center. Wilmer Josué Ramírez Vásquez, age 2; Juan de León Gutiérrez, 16; Alónzo-Gomez; and Caal Maquin, all died while being detained by ICE and were from Guatemala, BBC reported.

• Private corporation prisons do definitely benefit from the detention of undocumented immigrants by ICE, since the government pays between $133.99 to $200 per day to house an undocumented in a private prison. To hold an undocumented family, it costs at least $319 at a family residential center, according to the U.S.DHS.

• It cost taxpayers at least $775 a day to hold an undocumented child in a "tent city" or a Trump ICE concentration camp, according to HHS/NBC News.
