NEW: I just spoke with the former head of US Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) He tells me that he expects hundreds of separated children will never be reunited with their parents. They will be lost in the system. Orphaned by the US Govt'.
He says that during his time at ICE there were rare cases where children could not be reunited with their parents. Separation becomes permanent. This was *before* Trumps policy that has so far separated 2300+ children from their parents.
theres so little that we can do thats worse than what they are facing Sandweg says, based on his experience at ICE.
"the federal government is not very good at keeping track of kids and parents. he says.
"if the administration doesnt reunify these children very quickly, which is logistically very hard to do, youre going to have a lot of permanent separations."
"I think were going to see hundreds of cases where children are permanently separated from their parents, becoming wards of the United States"
------------------
And those orphans, they will be Trump's heritage. These orphans are what history-books will tell about this era.
The lost children of the Trump-administration.
Very evil plan , just freaking sick, they will be place with strangers , abusers, molesters fuk

(7,220 posts)when the parents are returned to their home country without their children, if they are killed by those who they were seeking asylum fromin the first place...
then who becomes responsible for the orphaned children?
Do they just get shipped home as well with no regard for whether they have family to support them? Or does trump just get to "keep" them?

That these children or their parents may in the future turn on the US?
What is wrong with people?

Wolf Blitzer just questioned him pretty aggressively about the whole mess. The ICE man is clearly a Trumpanzee who believes they are just doing their job. He impressed me as someone who would be a good fit for the Gestapo.
