Since people are prohibited from providing comfort

to these children, some brave people should do exactly that. Imagine if they were arrested (for what charges I don't know), they could demand a jury trail. The optics of prosecuting people for the crime of providing comfort to children would be totally toxic to Trump and his Rethug supporters. The optics of firing workers for providing comfort to children would be toxic.

I would like to see them try to prevent a US Representative or Senator from comforting a child.

I cannot even imagine people working in these concentration camps and not being able to comfort the children. It either has to eat through their hearts or they have no hearts.
