If it were not kidnapping then why is it happening in the dead of night

Why can't elected Reps gain access to these new Trump hotels/kiddy prisons?

Why are they sending these kids across the country?

These men and women are the quintessence of evil.
Lock them up for crimes against humanity.

and still supports him...stay the fuck away from me. We have nothing to talk about. And I would add that those who still support their decision not to vote for the Democratic nominee...get the same reaction from me.

children around under the cloak of darkness with no transparency or accountability for the process. This is most sinister.

If, as Sessions claimed, this was meant to be a deterrent, they should have publicized this themselves.

Absolutely brilliant point. Darkness obscures the act of thievery and in this case it is the theft of a child’s life and soul.

“The working of the mind discover oft
Dark deeds in darkness schemed, before the act.
More hateful still the miscreant who seeks
When caught, to make a virtue of a crime.”

― Sophocles, Antigone

The GOP monsters who did this will try to turn their acts like a virtue.

into slavery and prostitution and to the highest paying sexual predators. Maybe I am being unreasonable but so far with this Administration is that thought really so off?

This administration scares me because of their evil. I know evidence is the only true thing to go on but a lot of my gut feelings about what they would do has been happening and I had no evidence for those either.

if we make unsupported claims. There's more than plenty of things we can use to attack this policy.

I can't get my mind around such evil. I want these people to pay dearly for what they are doing to these families and children. There is a special place in hell for all of them.

... On 7 December 1941 .. Himmler issued the following instructions ... An effective and lasting deterrent can be achieved only by the death penalty or by taking measures which will leave the family and the population uncertain as to the fate of the offender ...

On 12 December .. Keitel issued a directive ... Efficient and enduring intimidation can only be achieved either by capital punishment or by measures by which the relatives of the criminals do not know the fate of the criminal ...

... Keitel further expanded on this principle in a February 1942 letter ... The prisoners will vanish without a trace. B. No information may be given as to their whereabouts or their fate ...

... In 1945, the abandoned Sicherheitsdienst (SD) records were found to include merely names and the initials "NN" (Nacht und Nebel); even the sites of graves were unrecorded. The Nazis even coined a new term for those who "vanished" in accordance with this decree; they were vernebelt—"transformed into mist". To this day, it is not known how many people disappeared as a result of this order.

The International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg held that the disappearances committed as part of the Nacht und Nebel program were war crimes ...
