(37,648 posts)No doubt in my mind they aren't going to let these kids call their "criminal" relatives, and relatives come visit the kids. That would serve their purpose.

(53,410 posts)the girls aunt was called. Perhaps shes in another state and has to travel to pick her up. In any case the little girl was taken out of the detention center and put with caretakers.
She was a guest in Rachels show and Rachel asked her.

(37,648 posts)I thought the admin. was rounding up "illegals"?
In any case, I'm so glad to hear it. That little girl was pretty calm and smart. She didn't panic, and negotiated with the guard.

(53,410 posts)her aunts phone number. That one simple thing seems to be what made all the difference.
Parents should always make sure their little kids know their phone number, the address where they live and their relatives full names.

(53,410 posts)From the way the lawyer answered Rachels question I surmise that the aunt may have to travel to get the girl and that the lawyer is protecting the aunts or someone elses identity and whereabouts.
It gets tricky.

(10,011 posts)They omitted the part of the little one crying for her Papi. This recording should be played in full by every news outlet, and it should be publicized that Fox News refuses to play it and continues to oqffer lame excuses for this horrendous policy. Its totally heartbreaking.

I am so pissed! I actually hope NATO invades us due to human rights violations.
How are we different than Boko Haram and their stealing over 300 schoolgirls?
The entire complicit republican party should be in jail!

(60,010 posts)Every public event that Kriten etc goes to, she should get to hear that tape being played on 100's of phones.
Make it a ring tone when lying Sarah holds a press conference. Then have someone call all the numbers at once.

(15,286 posts)Chris Hayes will do his show from there tomorrow. Trump and his enablers have lost total control of the narrative despite their best efforts to get it back. Everyone is using the word "cages" and not the euphanisms preferred by DHS.

(10,252 posts)on every MSNBC program. Think it is on CNN and NBC too. This is the one that will finally bring down Trump's polls, at least ensure an even bigger blue wave next Nov. We need to rub their damn noses in it. There is no way he can explain his way around this one.
