US did that with the Hopi and other tribes.
Kidnapped their children to Northeast orphanages for indoctrination, only to be tortured, raped, killed, die.
Since Native Americans refuse to buy into the European idea of property ownership (sorry for the pun), the US forcibly stole children from them and shipped them off to the Northeast, to live in large orphanage-type homes, where they would be starved, raped, tortured or die while attempts to indoctrinate them to White European-American life were made. Most of the lucky ones that came back, quickly reassimilated with their families, though were forever scared by their experiences. The children were stolen for years, without their parents even knowing where they were taken.

UPDATE 2: This shit was going on for a couple of hundred years, even happening through to the 1960s. This is what happens when you take people and classify them as "other," "savages," "vermin," or equate them to something not human. This is what Trump, Miller, and the rest of the MAGAts and their enablers. They are promoting a situation to justify the dehumanization of people for the sake of abuse and torture. Mind you, that is what this is...TORTURE. If any "American Citizen" treated their children to this abuse, they would have Child Protective Services called on them, lose their children, and possibly face prison. As stewards of these children, Trump and his flunkies are personally responsible for them, and should be subject to prosecution and jail.
There will be a Hague-like trial one day, and those responsible will suffer the consequences. This is happening on US soil.
