Translation: If you walk your child thousands of miles, and across a desert to get here, don’t expect us to hydrate them. If they die, so be it. Evil bitch.

You know they are in trouble when they have to trot out their bullshit on Fox and Friends.

As Rudy said, nobody was killed over this…
what he meant is that they died, on their own, of natural causes and other trauma.
If there were a tree with a noose for every deserving person in this admin, it would be long enough for the Wall.

“This family chose to cross illegally," then the 7-year old girl died. Ghouliani will explain how that is a prima facie case of suicide.

This is indeed their plan. It’s very dangerous to come here looking for asylum because the border patrol might kill you just as dead as the people persecuting you back home.

Monsters. Our government is controlled by monsters.

To the extent that the administration is able to get the public to excuse a horror like this, there really is no other conclusion than that a lot of Americans are extremely racist.
“Oh, just brown people—not Americans”.

I thought these guys were the “pro-lifers”…

How can they not be? People are appalled at the treatment as it is. Children are being abused, physically and sexually, and worse, some are dying while in the “care” of US authorities.

Feeling helpless here, because what will change until this administration does?

Heart-wrenching that this child fled brutality, but made the mistake of looking for safety in the one country under Republican Party rule.

They’re only pro-life until you’re born. After that you’re on your own.

I don’t want to hear one goddamn word about “a culture of life” or the “war on Christmas” until these Christianists show they care half as much for “the least of these, my brothers” as they do for the contents of their wallets

Is there any way to hold Nielsen and THE WORLD-WIDE ASSHOLE criminally liable for this child’s death?

And may they all fail to heed the warning and join Old Marley in walking the earth for eternity unable to intercede for good but fully understanding the evil they have wrought.

Obersturmfuhrer Nielsen doesn’t have the workcamp/deathfactory thing figured out yet. But she’s on it. Doesn’t want to disappoint Der Dumpf. MAGA!

“Absolutely heart wrenching. We were planning to go out for Mexican but the sordid drama left such a bad taste in my mouth we ended up staying home and ordering tapas instead.”

Blood is on the hands of everyone involved in trump’s border policy. He said he wanted to inflict pain as a deterrent.
The BP had hours during which they could have looked after that girl. They chose not to until it was too late.
There are no excuses that will fly for this. None.
This is not forgivable.

Border Patrol also apparently empties the bottles of water people stash for migrants in the desert when they find them. What happened to that child is murder of one form or another.

In a sane and compassionate world (you know, the one trump killed) Neilsen and trump, along with every Border Patrol agent involved in this would be charged with child abuse. Further Neilsen and trump would be indicted for some sort of gross negligence. I am not a lawyer but someone clearly needs to be arrested. The child’d body temperature was reported to be 105 degrees. Clearly she was ill and the BP did not notice??? Or care??? She should have been immediately cared for. Instead they lolly gagged for 8 hours before acting. It took the child going into seizures for them to fucking act!!
As I said there is no excuse for this. Not in America.
