Excellent news. The cruel Trump regime policy of kidnapping and imprisoning the babies and children of asylum seekers needs to end ā€” forever. This barbaric policy is what one sees from dictators and third world criminals.

Note that the perpetrators of this crime against humanity are not going to jail. In fact, they are still government employees.

American Exceptionalism.

ā€œThe hallmark of a civilized society is measured by how it treats its people and those within its borders,ā€

And since the Dixiecrats took over the Republican Party, we have become more barbaric.

So now Ilsa gets to explain how they canā€™t reunite them because they didnā€™t bother to keep track. And how they canā€™t find the parents that they lied to and tricked into being deported without their children.

Ainā€™t gonna happenā€¦ canā€™t have all those ā€œgood peopleā€ asked to return their domestic workers (slaves) after all they paid good money. Then again there ainā€™t no recordsā€¦

Perhaps they should have thought about the resource drain of reuniting children with their parents before they decided to violate the law and all norms of human decency.

If you canā€™t do the time, donā€™t do the crime.

An interesting proposition, thanks.

Recalling what Mississippi was like a scant 75 years ago, I do wonder.

Great ruling, but sucks for the kids Ilsa Nielsen managed/planned to lose.

You know Kirstjen Nielsen just created a whole bunch on new DACA recipients now didnā€™t she? There are a whole host of small brown juveniles residing within our borders that now have no legal status, shaky familiar bonds, and are untraceable. St. Ronnieā€™s amnesty is looking pretty good right about now.

And oops I just gave myself the chance to post this musical interlude on my stormy Saturday morning, enjoy.

the children were no longer in its custody, and the children would likely be emotionally harmed if they were removed from their current homes.

Only the Trump Administration could make such a morally depraved argument.

Letā€™s be clear. The government kidnapped these children and put them up for adoption to US citizens. Iā€™d be willing to bet that the vast, vast majority of those US citizens are white. This may, after all is said and done, be the biggest crime committed by Trump and his ilk.

Why is it such a burden for people who work in this Administration to refrain from being cruel human beings?

It is ALSO time to restore the rights to AMERICAN CITIZENS who have worked tirelessly to help these families, children and people at the border. Little reported, these people have been harassed by ICE, accused of committing crimes, placed on watch lists and had THEIR families ā€˜questionedā€™.

Well, the cruelty is the point, isnā€™t it?

Yes. It comes naturally to them. It is their base instinct. It appeals to their base.

How low can they go?

Not more barbaric compared to 1950 or 1750 or whatever spot in prior US history you wish to point to. More barbaric compared to where we were when the Dixiecrats took over the GOP. We were making good progress with civil rights, at least in this country.

Now we are slipping fast.
