Charge the people who disappeared the kids with the Mann Act. Make them prove

they didn't move them across state lines for illegal purposes.

They were all minors, taken from their parents with no accountability, for God only knows what purposes.

I believe in the rule of law. That includes according fair treatment to people who have denied fair treatment to others. We do not descend to their level.

A responsible prosecutor would need some evidence of illegal purposes before bringing such a case, even before we get to any issue of governmental immunity.
