Why don't the border officials

and others refuse to take part in this policy? Where is the moral backbone? Would you, DUers, continue to do your job if you were tasked with removing children from their parents? I'm sure not.

There are tiny cameras.

There are reasons that photographers and TV cameras are not allowed - and it isn't to maintain children's anonymity.

And the White House, ICE needs to be gutted, tough new leadership all the way through to field unit supervisors. I am really afraid that the organization has become a haven for haters and they are using the cover of government authority to abuse and kill people.
