A government-contracted security force threatened to arrest doctors
and nurses if they divulged any information about the contagion threat
at a refugee camp housing illegal alien children at Lackland Air Force
Base in San Antonio, Texas, sources say.
In spite of the threat, several former camp workers broke their
confidentiality agreements and shared exclusive details with me about
the dangerous conditions at the camp. They said taxpayers deserve to
know about the contagious diseases and the risks the children pose to
Americans. I have agreed to not to disclose their identities because
they fear retaliation and prosecution.
My sources say Americans should be very concerned about the secrecy of the government camps.
“There were several of us who wanted to talk about the camps, but the
agents made it clear we would be arrested,” a psychiatric counselor
told me. “We were under orders not to say anything.”
The sources said workers were guarded by a security force from the
BCFS, which the Department of Health and Human Services hired to run the
Lackland Camp.
The sources say security forces called themselves the “Brown Shirts.”
“It was a very submissive atmosphere,” the counselor said. “Once you
stepped onto the grounds, you abided by their laws – the Brown Shirt
laws.”
She said the workers were stripped of their cellphones and other
communication devices. Anyone caught with a phone was immediately fired.
“Everyone was paranoid,” she said. “The children had more rights than the workers.”
She said children in the camp had measles, scabies, chicken pox and strep throat as well as mental and emotional issues.
“It was not a good atmosphere in terms of health,” she said. “I would
be talking to children and lice would just be climbing down their
hair.”
A former nurse at the camp told me she was horrified by what she saw.
“We have so many kids coming in that there was no way to control all
of the sickness – all this stuff coming into the country,” she said. “We
were very concerned at one point about strep going around the base.”
Both the counselor and the nurse said their superiors tried to cover up the extent of the illnesses.
“When they found out the kids had scabies, the charge nurse was
adamant – ‘Don’t mention that. Don’t say scabies,’” the nurse recounted.
“But everybody knew they had scabies. Some of the workers were very
concerned about touching things and picking things up. They asked if
they should be concerned, but they were told don’t worry about it.”
The nurse said the lice issue was epidemic – but everything was kept “hush-hush.”
“You could see the bugs crawling through their hair,” she said.
“After we would rinse out their hair, the sink would be loaded with
black bugs.”
The nurse told me she became especially alarmed because their files
indicated the children had been transported to Lackland on domestic
charter buses and airplanes.
“That’s what alerted me,” she said. “Oh, my God. They’re flying these
kids around. Nobody knows that these children have scabies and lice. To
tell you the truth, there’s no way to control it.”
I don't mean to upset anyone's Independence Day vacation plans, but
were these kids transported to the camps before or after they were
deloused? Anyone who flies the friendly skies could be facing a public
health concern.
The counselor told me the refugee camp resembled a giant emergency room – off limits to the public.
“They did not want the community to know,” she said. “I initially
spoke out at Lackland because I had a concern the children’s mental
health care was not being taken care of.”
She said the breaking point came when camp officials refused to hospitalize several children who were suicidal.
“I made a recommendation that a child needed to be sent to a
psychiatric unit,” the counselor told me. “He was reaching psychosis. He
was suicidal. Instead of treating him, they sent him off to a family in
the United States.”
She said she filed a Child Protective Services report and quit her job.
“I didn’t want to lose my license if this kid committed suicide,” she told me. “I was done.”
The counselor kept a detailed journal about what happened during her tenure at the facility.
“When people read that journal they are going to be astonished,” she
said. ‘I don’t think they will believe what is going on in America.”
So it was not a great surprise, she said, when she received a call
from federal agents demanding that she return to the military base and
hand over her journal.
She said she declined to do so.
“I didn’t go back to Lackland,” she said.
Both workers told me while they have no regrets, they want to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals.
“They’re going to crush the system,” the nurse told me. “We can’t
sustain this. They are overwhelming the system and I think it’s a
travesty.”
BCFS spokeswoman Krista Piferrer tells me the agency takes “any
allegation of malfeasance or inappropriate care of a child very
seriously.”
“There are a number of checks and balances to ensure children are
receiving appropriate and adequate mental health care,” she said.
Piferrer said the clinicians are supervised by a federal field
specialist from HHS’s Office of Refugee Resettlement. She also said BCFS
have 58 medical professionals serving at Lackland.
“Every illness, whether it is a headache or something more serious,
is recorded in a child’s electronic medical record and posted on WebEOC –
a real-time, web-based platform that is visible to not only BCFS but
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,” she said.
As for those brown shirts, the BCFS said they are “incident management team personnel” – who happen to wear tan shirts.
My sources say Americans should be very concerned about the secrecy of the government camps.
“This is just the beginning,” one source told me. "It is a long-term financial responsibility.”
