Trump gov't solicited legal immigrants to sponsor some of the kids in cages. Turned out to be a trap

Suave Hellion @HeWhoLovesWords
The Trump gov't put out a call, asking legal immigrants to sponsor some of the 1,000's of kids in cages. Desperate to help, 170 kind ppl stepped up, hoping to finally free the kid from captivity.

Turns out, it was a sting operation. Then came the arrests.

the worst part is that they probably have zero intention of letting any of these kids be sponsored.
