Rachel reporting that parents being deported without

their children.

The term "evil" is insufficient.

If we're suffering from "outrage exhaustion," think about the unimaginable horror that has befallen these children and their parents.

Other countries have been punished more for less. Trump is taking us down a very dark road.

2. Deport the parents without their children? You want them to come back?

Because any parent would crawl over red hot broken glass to get their kids back.

If you want them to stay, give them their kids back, or expect to see them again, and again, and again, and again...

and of course do not have the funds to fight from another country now to find thier child
People helping with law groups are also finding dead ends where the gov. may not have the correct info recorded to search for the child later

8. What is their end goal? To "accidentally" lose the kids to sex traffickers or sell them

to the highest bidder? I think my initial impression of their actions was 100% correct. It's very clear at this point. This is disgusting as hell.

The more it's discussed, the more people are starting to reflect on the history of this country, which includes genocide, slavery, internment camps, Jim Crow, nukes, etc... disgusting start, middle and (maybe) end to what appears to be a shithole country led by racist assholes. If the clowns who voted for trump don't get their shit together and right this wrong, it's over for this place.

We're far past the "slippery slope."

We are well on the way to an American hell that emulates the worst historic nightmares that have befallen humanity.

Many news are coming in on Spanish news stations where Mother’s are waiting for months for their children and nobody knows why ice is not responding .



They have lost many children , they went into unknown foster care with strangers and perhaps abusers, it is extremely difficult to grasp this situation.

Others they will come back and cross the borders to look for their children.

Hispanics are very attach to their children , They take them with them to the ends of the earth to find a better life for better or worse but together.
