July 8 (UPI) -- The U.N. high commissioner for human rights said the detention of migrant children in the United States is cruel, inhumane and degrading and could violate international law.
Michelle Bachelet said Monday these migrant families are escaping violence and hunger in their home countries, making a long and perilous journey and then get locked up in "undignified conditions." The detainment should be a "last resort," she said.
