UPDATE: 09/16/2019 Ric Ocasek aka Richard Otcasek died of heart disease and emphysema. He had high blood pressure and atherosclerosis.

ORIGINAL: Ric Ocasek, Richard Theodore Otcasek, was born March 23, 1944 in Baltimore, Maryland. His father's side is Austrian, Hungarian, Czechoslovakian. His mother's side is Irish. He attended Maple Heights High School 1961-1963 in Maple Heights, Ohio. Below are school pics from 1963 and 1961 respectively.

Richard Otcasek's parents were Theodore "Ted" Otcasek January 16, 1921 Cleveland, Ohio - July 2, 2003, San Diego, California and Mary Pauline Williams March 29, 1920, Baltimore, Maryland - July 26, 2008, Coronado, San Diego, California. Ric's father Theodore worked for Air Research and Development Command as a Supervisor.

Ric Ocasek, Richard Otcasek was married three times. His first wife was Constance "Connie" Jean Campbell b. 1946. Together they had two sons, Christopher A Otcasek June 26, 1964 and Adam Otcasek. They were married for seven years. Connie filed for divorce for "gross neglect/extreme cruelty." She won the divorce March 25, 1971, see below.

Ric's second wife was Suzznne G Lapointe b. 1949. They were married in Ohio in 1971. Together they had two sons, Eron Justin Otcasek Dec 7, 1973 and Derek R Otcasek, October 27, 1981. They were married until Ric met Paulina in 1988.

Ric's third wife was Paulina Elisa Porizkova b. 1965. They married in 1989 in Manhattan, New York. Together they had two sons, Jonathan Raven Otcasek November 4, 1993 and Oliver Otcasek 1999. (I may have Jonathan and Oliver's birth dates mixed). Ric and Paulina separated in 2018.

During all of Ric's marriages I'm pretty sure he was sleeping around. He slept with my sister around 1986 in Los Angeles.

Below is the regular version of Ric's tree to his parents.

Ric's paternal grandparents were August Otcasek September 6, 1886 Austria, Hungary, Czech - November 11, 1957, Ohio, US. The nations' borders changed a lot during this time. Paternal grandmother was Frances Kloucek 1887 Czech - 1934.

Ric's maternal grandparents were John Joseph Williams October 20, 1886 Pennsylvania - May 5, 1933 District of Colombia and Claire Elizabeth Leonard 1886 Pennsylvania - July 22, 1932 Baltimore, Maryland.

Who is getting $775/day to care for immigrant children in detention? Friends of Trump, big business, GOP

Emily Price

June 25 at 6:06 PM

So I decided to do a little research into the $750/day figure I’d heard a private company was charging the US government per each detained migrant child. I wanted to, with my own eyes and brain, 1. verify this figure was accurate; 2. verify it was indeed a private company instead of a non-profit charging this, if true, as both have managed these detention centers (not that it really matters, ultimately, but stay with me); 3. try to figure out where this per diem sum — more than my monthly mortgage — was going, if not to even buy these tortured children toothbrushes and soap, which are about the cheapest basic necessities on the market, and which no individual has to replace every day.

$750/person A DAY should cover a lot of necessities, right? Right. So where the hell is all this money going? This can’t be true...

Well here’s what I found:

1. Yes, it’s a private company called Comprehensive Health Services (a subsidiary of Caliburn International). CHS operates the largest child migrant detention center, which is in FL and was already getting horrible press — especially from local FL papers — last year. But that didn’t matter, because CHS recently opened up a few more child prisons in TX, as it snagged a new government contract, despite many documented concerns about conditions there.

2. $750/day per child is an accurate sum of CHS’s CLAIMED operating costs, and what our federal tax dollars are paying for. A sum that was agreed to upon award of the contract. In fact, it was actually on the record as $775 last summer.

3. So where is this money going, you wonder, if not to soap and toothbrushes? Yeah, I did too, and it was quite easy to dig up. CHS, via Caliburn, is controlled by the private equity firm DC Capital Partners. For those of you who don’t know how private equity firms work, look it up, or ask me in the comments.

4. While I would not be able to find out vested shareholders in the DCCP portfolio, we do not have to assume they’re making some nice returns on these CHS operations and government contracts that line their pockets instead of covering even basic human needs for children. That’s clear, because why would a private company keep their costs down so low that they completely disregard humanity, even though they say they’re experts in “healthcare?”

PROFIT. FOR THEIR PRIVATE INVESTORS.

5. While I can’t name for you the private investors getting rich off of this humanitarian crisis, I can name for you members of the advisory board of DCCP, which approves everything in the portfolio.

First up: Trump’s former Chief of Staff, John Kelly, who was named to the board LAST MONTH, and photographed riding a golf cart into a CHS child prison. So with his own eyes, he saw the conditions there. And he was cool with it all, because hey, there’s money to be made for his rich investor friends, and maybe even himself! Who knows! Can’t say for sure, so feel free to reasonably assume what you wish. I’m just stating facts here.

Coincidentally, prior to joining Trump in the WH, he was also a paid lobbyist for DCCP. Hmmmm...

6. So next up on the DCCP board: Richard L. Armitage, former U.S. deputy secretary of state; Michael Corbin; former ambassador to the United Arab Emirates; Michael V. Hayden, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency and of the National Security Agency; Donald M. Kerr Jr., former deputy director of science and technology at the CIA; Anthony C. Zinni, former commander-in-chief of the U.S. Central Command and former U.S. Envoy to the Middle East; and Stephen F. Loftus, former director of the Office of the Budget for the United States Navy.

Are y’all seeing any patterns here?

7. Michael Hayden, last June, said on the record he sees “commonality” between Nazi Germany’s separation of children at concentration camps and the Trump administration policy that is forcing children to be separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border.

"I know we’re not Nazi Germany, alright. But there is a commonality there, and a fear on my part ... We have standards we have to live up to,” Hayden told CNN’s “New Day.”

It appears he left those standards at the boardroom door, along with many other individuals that dance with greed and corruption on the line of the private and public sectors COMPLETELY UNCHECKED.

8. Last month, the same month Kelly got his new gig, the government awarded CHS a brand new, hush-hush contract worth $341 million, even though there had been tons of pressure to close it due to its conditions.

THERE WAS NO COMPETITIVE BIDDING FOR THE CONTRACT, and it happened under the radar.

9. Just two months before this, in March, CHS/Caliburn cancelled its IPO after registering with the SEC to sell $100m public shares. The CEO cited “market forces,” yet made it clear the company was thriving and growing.

——————

I’ll leave you to come to your own conclusions about all of this, or do more research. And I’ll post a ton of sources in the comments for those who actually think this administration is “draining the swamp,” or who want to debate the semantics of whether these ”centers” can reasonably be called child concentration camps or not without offending some non-brown people.

And for those of you who think children don’t deserve the most basic human rights because they’re not American: There’s a special place in hell for you, and I imagine hell to be a whole lot like this situation.

For those of you who are cool lining the pockets of private citizens in DC with YOUR tax dollars while dirty, hungry, sick children live imprisoned and stacked in cages without even a dime of your money going to pay for soap and toothbrushes for these kids like it was supposed to: I’m ashamed to share this country with you as legal citizens, and I think you’re disgustingly dumb. We failed you, too, but at least you got to go to school when you were a kid, and didn’t spend childhood dying in a cage.

America, NONE OF THIS IS OK. WAKE UP.

3. Your concern has given me hope. Do your homework. Look into your group investment portfolios, pensions, etc. Know where your money is invested. Call your legislators. Do anything but freak out to the point of being unproductive and histrionic. DO ANYTHING BUT BE AWFUL TO EACH OTHER.

Who is Governor Kay Ivey? Married, divorced, no children, parents are blood related - by Mary CumminsGovern

Governor Kay Ivey, Kay Ellen Ivey, abortion, rights, bill, Mary Cummins, Alabama, ban, horrible person, votes, gay, homosexual, barren, married, divorced, no children, parents may blood related, husband Dr Genny Allan Laravia, Boarman Ivey, Barbara Nettles, Earl Nettles, Olive Burson, Thomas Ivey

THIS IS AN ACTIVE STORY. CHECK BACK FOR UPDATES.

UPDATE: 10/29/2019 The Court just reversed this ruling it is unconstitutional. Thank god.

ORIGINAL: I just did Governor Kay Ellen Ivey's family tree to see if she was married and had kids. She was married twice but had no children. Her first husband divorced her, married someone else then instantly had two kids. Husband could have kids. Kay Ivey remarried in 1991 to Tom Franklin Clement. They did not have children. Tom had two sons from a previous marriage. They appear to have divorced.

I found it odd that Kay Ivey was an only child. She was born in 1944 six years after her parents married in June 1938. Both her parents come from big families that had babies immediately after getting married. There appears to be multiple levels of inbreeding within the Nettles family. Her father and mother are both from the Nettles family. Maybe this is why they could only have one child. It's also possible Kay Ivey could be adopted. Below is the tree. ~~I'll add another generation later.~~ I added another generation.

Turns out they all lived in a town of only 1,000 people. Even in 2017 the population was only 2,000. There are two traffic lights, three banks and nine churches. Mother's side going back four generations from Monroe, Alabama. Father's side from Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina going back the same amount of time. All the great grandparents are from Monroe County, Alabama.

Kay's father was Boadman Nettles Ivey 1913 - 1997. He got a degree in agriculture from the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. He was in the military, politics as the County Supervisor and worked with the Farmers Home Administration doing farm loans. Below is his obituary.

"IVEY, Boadman Netties, 63, a resident of Camden, AL died March 19, 1997, at J. Paul Jones Hospital, Camden, AL.

Kay Ivey's maternal grandparents were Earl Nettle and Ethel DuBose Nettles. Yes, they are blood related and marrying each other. Below is Earl Nettles obituary.

"Brother of Judge Nettles Dies In Monroe Hospital. News was received in Jasper Monday morning of the death in Monroe County hospital of Earl Nettles, 55, brother of Judge Malcolm S. Nettles, of Jasper. Judge Nettles left for Monroe immediately after being notified of his brother's death. Earl Nettles was a farmer, cattle raiser and merchant at Tunnel Springs, Ala. He was one of fifteen full brothers and sisters, ten sons and five daughters, who were born and lived to maturity in Monroe county, Ala. Only five of them are now living, three sons, two daughters. Funeral services were held Tuesday at Tunnel Springs. Earl Nettles is survived by his widow, Mrs. Ethel Nettles; two sons, Dr. Thomas E. Nettles, Samuel Nettles; one daughter, Mrs. Nettles Ivey.

August 1967 Kay Ellen Ivey married Dr. Benny Alan LaRavia 1940-1994 in Alabama. They divorced with no children. He remarried and had a son and a daughter so it appears he could have kids.

Kay Ellen Ivey, Dr. Benny Allan LaRavia marriage wedding 1967 Alabama, abortion, Governor, divorce, sin

September 7, 1991 Kay Ivey married Tom Clement. They have no children. They married at 47 so I could see why. I don't believe they are still married to each other. Kay only used the name "Kay Ivey Clement" until 1993. Tom had two sons from a previous marriage.

Kay Ellen Ivey, Tom Clement wedding marriage 1991 Alabama divorce sin abortion

If abortion is wrong because it's against Christian beliefs then so is divorce. If you divorce, you cannot remarry in the church. You cannot receive the host. Her second marriage was in the First United Methodist Church. Her first marriage was in the Camden Baptist Church. This woman is a major sinner besides a hypocrite. She even had the nerve to wear white at her second wedding.

Maybe Governor Kay Ivey wants to ban abortion because she is barren and can't have kids. I've seen many who are against abortion just because they can't have kids.

Turns out it's legal to marry first cousins in Alabama. That's why there is so much inbreeding in the Nettles family. They were a large prominent family in a small area of Monroe County, Alabama. Multiple Nettles married Nettles. They even list all the names in the obituaries. That should be something that you would hide, take to your death bed. I can't help but hear the soundtrack to the movie "Deliverance" when I look at this family tree.

Look at the far right. William J Nettles and wife Ann Johnson are listed twice. They are ancestors of both the bride and groom! Also William Thames Nettles is the brother of William J. B. Nettles who are great grandparents of Barbara Nettles on both her mother and father's side! When I spread the tree in regular view you see a lot more of that with much closer relationships in the same generation. I have to list them as separate people or the tree falls apart. Governor Kay Ivey's inbred family tree broke Ancestry.com software. Everyone in her family on both sides of her family is basically the children of William Joseph Nettles Jr 1776-1849 from South Carolina.

Governor Kay Ivey was a member and leader of Future Homemakers of America. She clearly did not become a homemaker. Maybe she feels that she failed as a homemaker and mother which is why she signed that anti-abortion bill? She had the nerve to say "all life is precious." She's against abortion but she's for keeping all the Confederate statues. They didn't feel all life is precious.

Turns out all the Nettles are descended from the grandfather of Captain Thomas Alexander Nettles 1842 to 1917. Below is his obituary.

CAPT. T.A. NETTLES, LEADING RESIDENT OF MONROE IS DEAD. Head of Prominent Family Laid to Rest This Afternoon. TUNNEL, SPRINGS, ALA..

The history of this man is but the narrative of a well spent life. The father of five daughters and ten sons by his splendid example he taught them how to live and above all, how to die.

Pat O'Rourke, a colorful El Paso politician, businessman and observer who lived life with passion and loved taking chances, was killed Tuesday morning riding the low-slung bicycle that was taking him across the country this time last year. A former county judge and commissioner, O'Rourke helped engineer the consolidation of the city and county tax offices and left office as the county's top Democratic official in 1986. Soon after, he switched parties to make an unsuccessful run for Congress as a Republican. He was 58; the father of one son, Robert "Beto" O'Rourke and two daughters, Charlotte and Erin; and husband to Melissa Williams O'Rourke, who runs the upscale Charlotte's furniture store on the city's West Side. Pat O'Rourke owned and managed the Ethan Allen furniture store on the West Side. A funeral Mass will be at 1 p.m. Friday at St. Patrick Cathedral, 1118 N. Mesa, after which O'Rourke will be buried at Memory Gardens of the Valley, 4900 McNutt, in Santa Teresa. Arrangements are by Martin Funeral Home West. "I just saw him two nights ago," Commissioner Dan Haggerty said. "You just kind of think that life is funny, life is fragile, and all of the things that people think are so important aren't really." Haggerty said what many others who knew O'Rourke might have thought on hearing the news that he died doing what he loved, pedaling a bicycle alone. "When he crossed the country, we followed the diary," Haggerty said, referring to the daily account O'Rourke posted on stanton-street.com, an online magazine run by his son. "He was very deep. As much as many of us would like to say we knew him, we did not know him. I think he was a lot more of a man and a lot less of a politician than some of us would like to think."

Robert "Beto" O'Rourke married Amy Hoover Sanders in 2005 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. They have three children, Henry, Molly and Ulysses.

Funeral services will be held at 11 o'clock Friday morning at Holy Rosary church. Milwaukee. Burial will be in Calvary cemetery, in this city, and will be private."

I will now only do Beto's second great grandfather and wife on the O'Rourke side. Bernard "Barney" O'Rourke was born 1830 in Glencar, County Leitrim, Ireland. He died 1896 in Nebraska. Below is his obituary.

"Barney O'Rourke, well known about here, and who owned a farm northeast of town, but who lived near Nebraska City, was last week returning from that city to his home, with another person, in a buggy, when, by the horses taking fright, or some other accident, they were thrown out. O'Rourke's collar-bone was broken, but it was thought that he was not otherwise hurt. However, he was undoubtedly injured internally, as he suddenly became worse, Friday, and died that evening. When the Rock Island road was being built through here, he operated a boarding car."

An article from 1892 about him.

"Bernard O'Rourke a former old and respected citizen of St. Joseph, but now of Talmage, Nebraska, made a very pleasant call at the Tribune office Wednesday on his way home from the Indian Nation, where he has been engaged all spring in the construction of a railroad. Mr. O'Rourke built and ran the Everett house on South Seventh street many years ago and looks as fresh today as he did then."

Barney's wife was Mary Anne McDermott born in Ohio 1848 and died in El Paso in 1923. From her obituaries.

"MRS. MARY A. O'ROURKE DIES WHILE VISITING HER SONS. Mary A. O’Rourke, 74 years old mother of J. F. and H. J. O’Rourke of El Paso, died Saturday at 1411 East Nevada Street. Mrs. O’Rourke arrived in El Paso last Monday from her home in Herington, Kan., for a visit with her sons. Besides her sons here, she is survived by two daughters in Herington, Mrs. Frank Connolly and Miss Alice O’ Rourke; a son, B. J. O'Rourke, of Parsons. Kan., and a brother, P. J. McDermott of Liberal, Kansas. The body will be forwarded tonight to Harrington for burial by the J. J. Kaster & company."

"Mrs. Mary A. O'Rourke Dead. Mrs. O'Rourke is dead. This simple message, which passed from neighbor to neighbor and on through the town Saturday, brought a shade of sadness to the hearts of all who heard it, for this good woman who has lived among us for a number of years, had endeared herself to all by her simple kindnessm her consistent christian life, her charming personality and her cheeriness at all times. The children loved her, the young people enjoyed her the older friends trusted her and came for sympathy and understanding and her immediate family and friends adored her. Her passing leaves a place that cannot be filled, but her life among us leaves a pleasant memory of kindly service and unselfish devotion to family, friends and her religion, that is an inspiration to all and will linger long after she has gone. Mrs. O'Rourke left Herington about ten days ago to visit her brother at Liberal and two sons at El Paso, Texas, and was taken ill with pneumonia the second day of her visit there. Her daughter, Miss Alice went to her, arriving the day before her death and everything possible was done to save her for her family and friends but death claimed her on Saturday morning at eight forty-five. The body arrived in Herington Monday morning accompanied by her daughter and her two sons, H. J. and J. F. O'Rourke and their wives. The older son B. J. O'Rourke of Parsons and his son, Bernard, arrived Sunday afternoon, also Mrs. C. G. Stevenson of Pratt, Kansas, a niece. The brother, T. J. McDermott of Liberal. Kansas, was prevented from coming by sudden illness. Mrs. O'Rourke has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. F. P. Connolly for over five years and the funeral was from this home to St. John's Catholic church where a High Requiem mass was said with Father J. B. Glynn officiating. Prayers for the repose of her soul were offered by the ladies of the Altar society and the Knights of Columbus at the home Monday afternoon and evening. Interment was made at St. John's cemetery. Out of town relatives and friends were Mr. and Mrs. J. F. O'Rourke and Mr. and Mrs. H. J. O'Rourke of El Paso, Texas; B. J. and Bernard O'Rourk of Parsons, Kansas; Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Stevenson of Pratt, Kansas; Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Cole of Dalhart, Texas; Mrs. Jas. Gleason and Mr. and Mrs. J. P. McSteen of Kansas City, Missouri and Mrs. John Crowley of Pratt, Kansas. Mary Ann McDermott was born near Cleveland, Ohio, August 20th, 1848 and died at El Paso, Texas, January 27, 1923. She was married to Bernard O'Rourke at St. Joseph's cathedral, St. Joseph, Missouri, August 26, 1866. Nine children were born of this union, three of whom died in infancy and one son, Domino, died May 4, 1807, being killed while in railroad service. Mr. O'Rourke died at Talmage, Nebraska, August 26, 1896. The O'Rourke's lived at St. Joseph, Missouri, for many years coming west with the Rock Island Railroad as it built from that place. Mrs. O'Rourke leaves the following children: - B. J. of Parsons, Kansas; ,J. F. and H. J. of El Paso, Texas; Miss. Alice and Mrs. F. P. Connolly of Herington, besides a brother, T. J. McDermott of Liberal, Kansas, and twelve grand children." Transcribed by Mary Cummins.

I may later post the maternal second great grandparents. For now the paternal side of the family is from Ireland, Wales, Kentucky, Missouri and Kansas. The maternal side of the family is from Georgia, Massachusetts, Canada and Wisconsin. The family history matches up perfectly with what Beto O'Rourke has said about his family tree. I've done the family trees and histories of other candidates and Beto is the only one who has been honest about his family history. Beto is a third generation Texan from El Paso.

Beto's wife Amy Hoover Sanders comes from an amazing family. They lived in Mexico and Texas. My family is from El Paso, Texas which is on the Mexican border. That's how my grandpa met my Nana. It was normal to go back and forth frequently over the border. Below is Amy's tree only to great grandparents. Amy's family is highly educated, successful and wealthy. They've been in Texas and Mexico for generations. One was a well known Texas Judge. They are from Germany and the US. They're also involved in a lot of philanthropy.

Here is a map of the "programs" i.e. child detention centers. It's from 2007. The text is pasted above.

06/24/2018 It costs $775/night to house an immigrant child. It costs $298/night per person to house an immigrant family unit. This is why Trump wants to house children separately. His friends such as Juan Sanchez want to make money off the tears of immigrants. Why else would this guy have a pro Trump poster and quote on the wall of the detention center? Pure evil greed. I wonder if Jeff Sessions has an investment in this private jails.

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/20/migrant-kids-tent-cities-cost-more-than-detaining-families-report.html

It turns out the US is also using the immigrant children for leverage. They offer to give back the children if the parent signs a self deportation agreement. So cruel when these people are coming here for asylum.

06/21/2018 It appears Juan Sanchez only joined a lot of Latino organizations for his reputation. He has no problem making money off the tears of detained children and their families. Juan Sanchez put the poster with Donald Trump's face up in the front of the detention center. He added the quotes. He built the cages inside the old Walmart.

Juan Jose Sanchez born October 29, 1947 in Brownsville, Cameron County, Texas. Mother was Andrea Casares born in Texas 1927 - 2004. Father was Tomas Flores Sanchez born in Texas 1910 - 1962. His siblings in order are Teresa, Roberto (died at birth), Tomas Enrique, Raymundo and Margarita. He's the second oldest. His paternal grandparents were born in Texas. Maternal grandparents born in Mexico but quickly moved to Texas. They actually said they were from Texas in census docs but had no SSN so who knows. Maybe he doesn't care about these kids because they're from central america or because he's almost a full third generation in Texas? I know some of my older Mexican relatives had "issues" with people from central america as if they were inferior. Maybe he got into colleges claiming he was Latino when he's really an almost full third generation Texan. He never talked about his parents. He didn't even give them proper funerals.

He married blonde hair blue eyed Caucasian Jennifer Lynn Nelson who is 21 years younger than him in 2009. She works for him.

Together they had three children, Juan de Jesus Sanchez, and twins Cesar Antonio Sanchez and Tenoc Andres Sanchez. I believe he may have had a previous wife with whom he had more kids. He went to St. Mary's University, San Antonio, TX and allegedly received a BA. University of Washington Seattle, WA, MSW. Harvard University MA, Ed.D. He applied for three charter schools. This guy is a Texan who is only interested in money.

Here is their old website. This page is about the organization caring for immigrant children. He said because of the Flores lawsuit children are not supposed to be held in detention. His cages look like detention to me.

Juan Sanchez lived in this home. It was listed for sale in 2017. These are the photos from that listing. Juan Sanchez lived in this house before 1993. It appears it was restored before it was offered for sale in 2017. Maybe he just rented it. This is a staged home so probably a developer flip.

He allegedly lives in 6105 Highlandale, Austin, Texas.

http://www.loscerritosnews.net/2018/06/14/trumps-choice-to-run-southwest-key-programs-detention-center-in-brownsville-calls-himself-el-presidente-served-on-la-raza-board/

Hews Media Group-Community News has found that the Trump Administration’s choice to run its detention center holding 1,500 boys ages 10-17 in Brownsville, Texas is a Harvard educated Mexican-American named Dr. Juan J. Sanchez, the self-proclaimed “El Presidente/CEO who grew up in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Brownsville, Texas on the border of Mexico where life was full of challenges.”

The Texas Secretary of State’s listing showing Sanchez as owner of Southwest Key Programs.

The Trump detention center run by Sanchez is called “Case Padre” or “Father’s House.” Reporters who visited the center today called it a prison and indoctrination facility, with U.S. Presidents painted on the wall with patriotic slogans next to the paintings.

As the kids walk into the center, the first picture they see is Trump, a man who once called all Mexicans rapists and murderers, in front of the spot color picture of the White House and the U.S. flag, with a patriotic slogan in Spanish.

Sanchez is the definition of what Trump hates about Mexicans, but his administration gave, and Sanchez gladly took the business from the U.S. to house the young boys ruthlessly separated from their parents or fleeing persecution.

Sanchez, “El Presidente/CEO of Southwest Key Programs,” writes on his website, “he (Dr. Sanchez) was fortunate to have a number of caring, supportive adults in his life that encouraged him to dream big and pursue an education and he became determined to spend his life helping as many people as he could to escape poverty through educational and other opportunities.”

Yet the boys in his charge are allowed only two hours of exercise each day, the remaining 22 hours spent inside the facility.

Even more shocking, Sanchez proudly states he served on the Board of UnidosUS, the left-wing organization formerly known as the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the nation’s largest Latino civil rights and advocacy organization.

La raza “was a source of pride for many Latinos, the most militant of whom adopted the motto, ‘Por la raza todo, fuera de la raza nada’ — ‘For the race, everything, outside the race, nothing.’”

UnidosUS advocates for everything Trump, his Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and most Republicans despise; the organization is in favor of progressive public policy changes including immigration reform, a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, and reduced deportations.

Their website states, “through our unique combination of research, advocacy, programs, and a national network of nearly 300 community-based organizations across the country, we simultaneously challenge the social, economic, and political barriers that affect Latinos in the United States. Since our founding in 1968, we have contributed to a stronger America by elevating the voice of Latinos, and defending and advancing our community’s concerns. Today, we remain steadfast in our mission to realize a day where all Latinos thrive and their contributions are fully recognized.”

In addition, Sanchez is the recipient of the Ohtli Award, which recognizes individuals who have aided, empowered, or positively affected the lives of Mexican nationals in the United States and other countries.”

Yet Sanchez chose to take business from the Trump administration.

On his website Sanchez states, “Southwest works in the juvenile justice field, thousands of youth have been diverted from facilities and allowed to finish school. Through Southwest’s immigrant children’s shelters, thousands of unaccompanied minors have been reunified with their families.”

Several media outlets are reporting that no formal plans are in place to reunite the children of Casa Padre with their family, with more frightening reports indicating there is no documentation of the boy’s parents."

ORIGINAL: Dr Juan Jose Sanchez is the President of Southwest Key Programs. He received about $750,000 a year in salary in 2015. His wife Jennifer Sanchez received about $275,000 a year. He founded the non-profit in 1987. This article states Juan Sanchez' salary is now $1.5M. It's doubled. He asks his employees to donate to the non-profit. The employees make about $15/hour for child care with no benefits.

Southwest Key Programs has received over $1.5B to house immigrant children in the last decade. It appears there have been violations at these centers. They were trying to turn a warehouse into a shelter in Houston but the Mayor said no. Big money to be made warehousing immigrant children.
