OMG. Immigration Enforcement is asking advocacy groups to tell THEM where the children are.

Because Immigration Enforcement doesn't know.

https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/immigration-border-crisis/where-s-my-kid-texas-border-desperate-parents-turn-attorneys-n886181

Ali Rahnama, an immigration attorney from Washington, D.C. who works on public policy and high impact litigation, said he woke up last Monday and felt he needed to be on the border. He found a private donor to pay for him and a few colleagues to fly to the border.

Rahnama said he and other attorneys expected Immigration and Customs Enforcement would have access to a database that would have information on where each child is, but no such database seems to exist.

“They are asking us (and advocacy groups) to give them that information,” Rahnama said.

Reporting 500 children reunited. I have seen no proof whatsoever of this. One would think, at least some of these stories would be covered, I have seen one story. Also that 2500 number, I believe only covered a six week period. How many children have they actually kidnapped? And where the hell are they?

Any normal place would know exactly that because they would prioritize tracking this information. However, these aren't normal, they are total monsters and just want to fuck up brown people and wanted to keep them in cages for fun and take them away permanently from their families. They got caught and looked very very stupid, so like all drumpf minions, they lied and acted like they were at least human, when they aren't.
