according to the director of the immigrants rights clinic at columbia law school, some were wearing dirtyucous or urine, teen age children were stained with breast milk. and no soap and they had not showered or bathed since they crossed the border. some of them more than three weeks ago. there was a stench that emanates from some of the children because they haven't had an opportunity to put on clean clothes and to take a shower. dhs officials tell nbc news the children have been taken to a tent detention camp in el paso, texas, where they'll remain under the custody of border patrol until they can be placed with the department of health and human services. >> gene, your latest piece for "the washington post" is entitled this is the reality of trump. it's crossed the line from gratuitous cruelty to flatout sadism. perhaps he enjoys seeing innocent children warehoused in filth and squalor. perhaps he thinks that's what america is all about. is he right, trump supporters, is he right republicans in congress? is this what you want? this is a humanitarian crisis of trump's making. a president
