Immigrant children told CBS News that they went hungry after being detained by Customs and Border Protection agents.
CBS News host Gayle King spoke to a group of children who were held in detention centers after President Donald Trump ordered a “no tolerance” policy, forcing immigrant families to be separated.
“Were you treated very well, were you afraid there?” King asked a 15-year-old boy named Renaldo.

“I was very scared,” Renaldo replied, according to a translator. “At midnight they wake you up to count everyone in the cells.”
After the interview, King revealed that multiple children told her they went hungry while in the detention center.
“Renaldo also told us that he did not get enough to eat,” King explained. “He said he was fed apples and water — and neither did other people.”

A group of President Donald Trump's supporters were caught on video destroying property owned by Washington, D.C. businesses which have expressed support for Black Lives Matter.
The destruction was said to have occurred on Saturday as Trump's supporters gathered in D.C. to protest the outcome of the 2020 election.
Video was shared by photographer Mac William Bishop on Sunday.
A group of protesters carrying Trump flags and American flags can be heard cheering as men rip down a Black Lives Matter sign that had been installed by a local business. Protesters can then be seen stomping on the sign as others join in with shouts of approval.
A Canadian man blasted President Donald Trump's supporters who have threatened to move to his country after a stinging defeat by President-elect Joe Biden.
In a TikTok video, the man pointed out that a number of conservative U.S. citizens have vowed to move to Canada because they are disgusted by Trump's apparent loss in the 2020 election.
"I've seen more than a few posts by people who are not happy about the results of the election and want to move to Canada," the man explained. "Trump supporters moving to Canada, no! Get that out of your head. We don't want you here. We don't want your COVID here. We don't want your ideals here. We don't want anyone like that here."
Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday compared Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) to a Japanese soldier who thinks World War II is "still going on" because he refuses to accept the presidential election results.
"It would seem to me that Republicans on Capitol Hill have a role to play in this," Wallace explained on his Fox News Sunday program. "A very few of them have said, look, you pursue your legal options but, you know, damn down the rhetoric, like Mitt Romney, like Pat Toomey."
