Ex-white House staffer on board of migrant facility
Former White House chief of staff John F. Kelly has joined the board of the conglomerate that operates the largest facility for migrant children in the country, the company announced Friday.
Caliburn International’s CEO James Van Dusen confirmed the appointment of the former Trump cabinet member in a news release.
Some members of Congress have described “prison-like” conditions in the facility in Homestead, Florida.
The facility is undergoing an expansion, saying a spike in migrants’ arrivals has increased demand for space. About 2,500 children ages 13-17 are detained there now, after crossing the U.s.-mexico border without a parent or guardian.
