"The woman, who speaks in Spanish, warns that talking to the press could put their case in limbo."

A former employee at a detention centers holding migrant children shared photos and videos from inside the building with NBC News, providing a glimpse at the conditions for those separated from their parents under the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy.

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow said Monday that the woman secretly shot footage from inside a facility located in New York. The employee quit her job there last week, and provided the video on the condition of anonymity, Maddow said.

The images show children with their faces blurred. They are sitting in what resembles a classroom, where school supplies and maps can be spotted in the background.

Another image appears to show kids eating a meal off of paper plates.

Maddow also played audio that reveals a detention facility worker discouraging the children there from speaking with reporters. The woman, who speaks in Spanish, warns that talking to the press could put their case in limbo.
