With its population of child detainees skyrocketing from 400 in June to a predicted 3,800 by the end of 2018, Tornillo is the biggest outpost in an American archipelago of gulags that was once unfathomable. And the reason that both the number of kids in these detention camps and the length of time they are staying there have skyrocketed can be summed up in one word: fear. That's because the Trump administration's willingness to sic the attack dogs of the president's not-so-secret police force called ICE on immigrants, even those with no criminal record, has terrified the sponsors who in past crises stepped forward and offered loving homes to such children.
