Migrant children who were recently detained in Customs and Border Protection facilities have drawn pictures of themselves in cages since being released from custody, Dr. Sara Goza, the incoming head of American Academy of Pediatrics, told CBS News.
Goza, the president-elect of the association of pediatricians, told the news agency in an interview released Wednesday that she received the drawings from a social worker last week, during which time she also visited two CBP facilities.
During her tour of the facilities, Goza said she saw a number of children who had “no expression on their faces, there was no laughing, there was no joking, no talking.â€
"I describe them almost like dog cages with people in each of them," she told the news agency. "And the silence was just hard to watch, hard to see."
