A contractor responsible for housing detained migrant children across the U.S. has reportedly axed plans to host its holiday party at the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia., Caliburn International leadership sent out an email to workers on Monday notifying them that there would be a change in venue for their annual holiday party.
"Our team leaders have made the decision to change the venue so that our employee holiday event is focused on the spirit of compassion and thankfulness to our employees who work every day supporting missions of humanitarian service, national security, and medical care around the world," the email said.The holiday party had been slated for December 6, according to CBS, which obtained an invitation outlining the initial plans.
Caliburn's initial decision to hold its holiday party at a Trump golf club reignited debate around whether it is ethical for a government body or contractor to host an event at a Trump property. The question is one that has repeatedly come up under the Trump administration, with it recently coming to light that the Secret Service had spent more than $250,000 at Trump properties over a five-month period in 2017, while the U.S. Air Force has also faced scrutiny over repeated stops made at president's Turnberry resort in Scotland.
Caliburn, which operates federal detention facilities for migrant children, planned a holiday party at Trump National. Itâs hard to overstate how problematic it is for a company with billions in government contracts to be paying the president directly.
It's as if we are reading from 'The Onion' everyday - only this is not parody, sadly it's now our reality.
BYOB;Bring your own body..as in immigrant
judeaa People who cage children think association with Trump will be bad for their image. TrumpStink MAGA
If they can afford that kind of venue, we are being grossly overcharged. Besides, the party should be with and for the children detainees.
Except for the babies they’ve got locked in cages right?
How about the evil bastards not have a holiday party at all? WTF is there to celebrate for them?
