A major U.S. military and CIA contractor has been detaining dozens of
migrant children inside a vacant Phoenix office building with dark
windows, no kitchen and only a few toilets, according to a new
investigation by Reveal from the Center for Investigative Reporting.
Reveal learned about what some are calling the “black site” for migrant
children after one local resident filmed children in sweatsuits being
led into the building. The building was leased in March by MVM, a
defense contractor that Reveal reports has received nearly $250 million
in contracts to transport immigrant children since 2014.
Democracy Now! spoke with
the lead reporter on this story, Aura Bogado, in Oakland, California.
She is the immigration reporter for Reveal from the Center for
Investigative Reporting.
