Troubling videos from inside a migrant children's shelter in Arizona have come to light which appear to show employees of a U.S. government contractor roughly treating migrant children in their care.

In one clip, a male staffer is seen pushing, shoving and then appearing to slap one child. Another adult is seen forcing a different child through the room, carrying and eventually dragging the child through a door, followed by yet another staffer pushing and dragging a third child through the same door.

The incidents occurred in September at a facility in Youngtown, Arizona, operated by Southwest Key Programs, a nonprofit that runs 24 such shelters nationwide, housing migrant children, most of whom arrived alone at the U.S./Mexico border.

The video was obtained through an open records request made by The Arizona Republic's reporter Mary Jo Pitzl, who joins me now.

Mary Jo, welcome, and thank you for being here.

The video, we should point out, has been blurred, obviously, because you want to protect the identities of the children. What else do we know about the details of the children or the staffers in this video?
