The News Keeps Getting Worse for Southwest Key, a Charity That Houses Detained Immigrant Children

The N.Y. Times has done a series of stories about Southwest Key, a leading migrant shelter provider. It led off with a lengthy article about the charity and a number of questionable financial arrangements, followed up with an article about the charity’s promise to conduct an internal inquiry, and just yesterday reported that the Department of Justice is now investigating. Given the attention that the federal government’s immigration policies, particularly with respect to children, is attracting, it will be interesting to see how this story develops.
