Is it kidnapping?

When ICE/CBP/DHS/HHS personnel move children, do they have court orders to be children’s guardians? Do these personnel have court orders or some sort of formal permission or directive (pieces of legal paper - anything) to move these children or are they just kidnapping children?

Let’s present a habeas corpus motion to the Federal courts in Texas to produce the children immediately.

no paperwork. They don't even know their names. No record connecting them to their parents. Which is why the reunion with their families will be very difficult to pull off.

If it was a simple as pointing this out, I suspect ACLU would have already filed something.

It's questionable if Trump is following them. The immigration law specifically grants the government the right to separate children from their parents and even transport them. I think boarder patrol is allowed to separate them but DHHS has to come in at that point, if not already involved.

Separation is a must in any immigration package though the regulation needs to be explicitly spelled out further. It's original intent was to protect children.
