People on the left (or just accused,) were "disappeared," and any kids they had were given to the wealthy.

The current Argentine government is in the process of prosecuting the kidnappers, and reuniting families.

McALLEN, Texas (AP) — The Latest on the separation of immigrant children from their parents following President Donald Trump's order allowing them to remain with their parents (all times local):
3:30 p.m.

An attorney representing immigrant children says a decades-old court settlement doesn't require or even imply that the U.S. government should separate families entering the country illegally.

Peter Schey said Thursday that he will oppose a Trump administration request for a federal judge in Los Angeles to alter the longstanding agreement that ensures children are released from detention facilities.

Schey says the administration is seeking to deflect blame for its recent family separation policy after public outcry and called the government's filing "deceptive and dishonest."

The judge ruled during the Obama administration that children had to be released from family detention facilities after authorities began detaining mothers with children in response to a surge in Central American immigrants seeking asylum.

want these kids most likely. Besides the money DeVos is making, she may be setting herself up as the savior to these kids. This is a current running through some communities and it does not always work out well. They are brainwashed, homeschooled, and disciplined in dangerous ways.

Trump creates a heartless immigration policy and Betsy DeVos sees it as a business opportunity.
