(70,311 posts)so sad. I have to say that I really think the DHS and Trump and the WH gang thought they could get away with just showing the older boys and kids. I really think they thought this. The shit is going to really hit the fan now at the WH. yes, it. will.

I also remember her from those days. I liked her then and she has only gotten better and better since then. Never have I heard or seen her get so emotional that she could not speak.
This administration is cruel beyond description. Maya they all suffer a painful death, after having been separated from their families, imprisoned, and all their worldly possessions confiscated to provide for everyone they have harmed -- from immigrants to students, to the poor, to elderly, and well, you know -- I don't have to list everyone who has suffered under them, and we could build infrastructure, and secure Medicare and Social Security.

(36,898 posts)Trump administration officials have been sending babies and other young children forcibly separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border to at least three tender age shelters in South Texas, The Associated Press has learned.
Lawyers and medical providers who have visited the Rio Grande Valley shelters described play rooms of crying preschool-age children in crisis. The government also plans to open a fourth shelter to house hundreds of young migrant children in Houston, where city leaders denounced the move Tuesday.
Since the White House announced its zero tolerance policy in early May, more than 2,300 children have been taken from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, resulting in a new influx of young children requiring government care. The government has faced withering critiques over images of some of the children in cages inside U.S. Border Patrol processing stations.
Decades after the nations child welfare system ended the use of orphanages over concerns about the lasting trauma to children, the administration is standing up new institutions to hold Central American toddlers that the government separated from their parents.

Stealing & selling kids?
Human trafficking?
There's a chilling thread that runs thru Trump, his past history & the global criminal enterprise.
The sale of kids.
Was this Kushner's reference to "Adoptions"?
How would we even know what happened to them?

(6,288 posts)I believe we are not the minority in this thinking either.
I think the rush of Press on the Tx locations tonight, the tearful reporting is saying they believe as we do.
Its gotten pretty easy to put 2 & 2 together & hope that we are wrong, hope that what we sit here staring at, simple cannot be.
I'll post this again here, because it lends another layer of reality to the mob circle Donald Trump exists in.
I truly hope I'm proven wrong on this.

World Cup: NAPTIP foils child trafficking plot at Lagos airport
Jun 13, 2018 | The Nigerian Voice
National Agency for Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) on Tuesday said 10 Nigerian children have been rescued from human traffickers planning to fly them to Russia and exploit relaxed visa controls for the World Cup.
NAPTIP said five suspects, including a policeman and a quarantine officer, were arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) Lagos, for allegedly recruiting the victims nine girls and a boy and facilitating their travel.
The children who were all in possession of a FIFA fan pass were intercepted by officials as they tried to board a flight to Moscow on Saturday night, according to the agency.
Five other potential victims, also children, were stopped from boarding when staff noticed they only had one-way tickets.
Officials in Nigeria said last month they had intelligence showing plans were underway to traffic local women to Russia for the World Cup, taking advantage of Moscows decision to let spectators enter the country with just a ticket and a fan pass.
The agency will not give traffickers any opportunity to use the World Cup to ferry Nigerians out into a life of misery abroad, NAPTIPs Director-General Julie Okah-Donli said in a statement.
Visa-free entry to Russia was trialled at the Confederations Cup in Moscow last year, and will apply to the entire World Cup, which runs across 11 Russian cities from June 14 to July 15.
Julia Siluyanova of Russian anti-slavery group Alternativa last month told the Thomson Reuters Foundation the eased visa rules were a present for traffickers, as its normally strict system had typically made trafficking time-consuming and costly.

I hope with all the efforts of all the good people doing a desperate & sincere part to rescue these children, that everyone of them is accounted for & joined with family again.

(15,290 posts)That is how many of these kids Trump has consficated. Despicable, and as the TX state rep said, diabolical.
Wait until pictures/audio of that gets out - and it will. Trump, Sessions and Miller will be the only 3 people in America still thinking they're "winning".
I rarely use this word, but I truly *hate* these people.

That's an astounding clip.

(51 posts)I saw it and could not believe what I was seeing. Simple words do not even begin to describe what just happened.
Two things, one from Rachel's show, and one from Lawrence's opening really struck me:
1: The WH is reveling in this. This policy, one implemented by Trump himself (and not all the other BS claims), that is morally, ethically, religiously, I've run out of adjectives, does one thing: It perfectly, without any doubt, without any cloudiness, describes this administration's moral being. This one could top the list of Trump wrong doings in history.
2: Reporters are being prevented from speaking to the children, AND, the only photos available have been provided by, and approved by, my Government. This is truly scaring me. Just look at how easy Trump just got thousands of Americans, many armed, to do this horrible thing. We will be well advised to speculate, WHO's NEXT?
Thank God for a free press. How else would we learn of this?
