Here, there are 1,469 boys, ages 10 to 17, housed inside the 250,000-square-foot shell of a former Walmart superstore. None of the 313 bedrooms have doors. Or ceilings, so that children lying in their beds look up past where their walls end to the scaffolding of the superstore roof high above.
I have to agree with this commentator. This story also rocked my world and shifted my reality.
A quick summary:
There are thousands of children being held in cages in the US. Their crime: born to parents who decided to illegally cross the border. The parents are sent back home but the US separates them from their children and keeps them in detention camps where they are "treated like dogs". The children are escorted to the bathroom, hands tied behind their backs.
"This story is a test. The NSA and CIA watch and monitor everything. They are monitoring the public's reaction to this story. This is when thousands of people need to be on the street with signs - this is the test! If we let this happen, if we do nothing, if don't scream STOP RIGHT NOW!, ten years from now it might be YOU."
It only takes them 8 hours to flip a WalMart from a functioning store to one of these detention centers. Nothing's bolted down in a WalMart. So they can easily convert them into detention centers. This is even on Wikipedia.
"This isn't about the left and the right. It's to see if American's will finally get outraged."
He argues that boycotting WalMart would get them to change their actions. I have to disagree. I think WalMart has likely always been a government operation with this use as the intention all along. It does not rely on your dollar to stay afloat.

The CNN article cited in this video gives a reporter's description of the living conditions inside the facility that does not even remotely resemble what this YouTuber is saying. Where is he getting his information?

This is one source he used https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-child-migrants-immigration-detention-centres-trump-ice-texas-jacob-soboroff-casa-padre-a8398051.html?amp

He speaks of photographs that were available online right after the story broke, showing the conditions inside. He says that soon after, the pictures were removed and the web was littered with pictures of other facilities, and cleaned up, even photo-shopped images are now coming up in a Google image search. He surmises that mainstream media is covering the story: to whitewash it, and because originally it supported their anti-Trump mandate (until we found out that policies leading to this detention camp lies in Obama's lap).

“Reporters allowed to visit the Casa Padre shelter had to agree to preconditions, including that no cameras, phones or recording devices were allowed”. So where did the featured pictures come from?

The article says: "Photos of the Casa Padre shelter's interior are Department of Health and Human Services handouts."
