Justice Department Lawyer Defends Herself After Viral Video on Child Migrant Treatment
A Justice Department lawyer who argued in court that the federal government wasn’t legally required to provide soap and toothbrushes to detained migrant children in some conditions is defending herself after video of the exchange went viral, reports NBC News.
“Clips of her argument, along with the astonished reactions from judges hearing her testimony, were posted online and went viral, turning [Sarah] Fabian into a face of the Trump administration’s treatment of detained child migrants,” writes NBC’s Josh Lederman.
Fabian posted a message on Facebook, in which she said she shares “many people’s anger and fear” about the nation’s future. She adds that she is a career federal employee who has served since 2011, long before President Trump took office.
