In other words, Catch and Release. CATCH AND RELEASE!!!

Which leads me to the one thing George W. Bush was correct about:

Perhaps the complicit high tech firms could do the right thing and create websites and apps in order to help bring families back together.

keninmn · June 21, 2018, 12:57pm

And provide them for free, rather than profiting from their complicity twice…

Trump is on TV blaming all this on Pelosi and the Dems.

And the Dems will just sit and take this in the shorts, won’t fight back.

Not just prisons, Trump Brand Prisons! Built with real Russian mafia sourced materials and labor!

Welcome to Family Camp Concentration. Holding pens are to the left, showers to the right.

I hope there’s not even enough left to bothering burying it.

cervantes · June 21, 2018, 1:18pm

Thanks a lot. Longest 47 seconds I ever lived through.

captain_america · June 21, 2018, 1:18pm

One could hope.

Don’t hold your breath.

Any statement from this WH should be considered FALSE, until proven otherwise.

I could be wrong, but I believe that ICE and CBP are allowed to take DNA samples from anyone they arrest or detain for criminal prosecution, under Maryland v. King. Since 2009, anyone arrested by a federal agency like FBI, DEA, ATF has had to give a DNA sample which is put into CODIS. I assume that whenever CBP is enforcing criminal immigration laws, they too can take samples upon arrest. A few years back the EFF was fighting some proposed CBP/ICE regulations to take swabs from kids aged 14 and possibly younger, but I don’t know what happened.

They want to start fingerprinting them. I wouldn’t currently trust our government with this, look at DACA.

johnbarleycorn · June 21, 2018, 2:59pm

These fucking assholes can’t ever get their stories straight.

holywah · June 21, 2018, 3:01pm

Don’t know but the snap back from the Pinocchio noses must have stung.

southerndem · June 21, 2018, 4:23pm

Please don’t do that again…
It’s too painful

That’s perfect.
WaPo gets the public’s hopes up, and DOJ shoots them down.

Keep them on the wrong side of good.
