Separating immigrants from their children is child abuse.

And you think Trump’s executive order/action directing an end to separations is illegal?

From the decision (italics in original):

“The government readily keeps track of personal property of detainees in criminal and immigration proceedings. Money, important documents, and automobiles, to name a few, are routinely catalogued, stored, tracked, and produced upon a detainee’s release, at all levels - state and federal, citizen and alien. Yet, the government has no system in place to keep track of, provide effective communication with, and promptly produce alien children. The unfortunate reality is that under the present system migrant children are not accounted for with the same efficiency and accuracy as property.”

Horrible.

When compatible beings love each other very much…

With Trump, Sessions, Ryan, Pence etc. displaying their evil so prominently, it is easy to overlook that there are also human beings associated with the U.S. government. One of them visited a border prison.

In case Facebook doesn’t let non-Facers read the page, here is a link to Senator Warren’s post at her own blog site.

Wrong thread.

This is actually nauseating to read. Jesus.

Yeah. I hope others can read it. This has got to end.

I wish I could get everybody I know to read it, but I know for a fact that some of them, including members of my own family, will say it’s all exaggerated or just plain lies because they can’t stand Elizabeth Warren.

The banality of evil.

Seriously: everyone who helped think of this, plan it, implement it - everyone - should have the privilege of spending the rest of their lives in a Supermax prison, until they die of old age.

Maybe Gitmo can be repurposed for all the Trump-related criminals.

I was thinking a gorilla cage would be more appropriate, but the gorillas haven’t done anything to deserve that :frowning: :mad:

That stuff happens all the time. ICE lies on charging documents and sworn statements. I have seen credible reports of statements that two-year-olds declared that they were coming to the United States to find work.

Health and Human Services officials told the governor of Washington that any detained children that are placed in long-term foster care are considered “reunited”.

Holy shit.

And a little light reading from the legal documents. Don’t click through if you want to think peaceful thoughts this morning.

And it just gets even more grotesque:

Tiny tots can comprehend immigration law? WTFF?

One-year-old is asked if he understands said law:

Surreal. And sickening.

Immigrant children are being held in a building with no showers, so they have to bathe in the sinks.
