I am so fucking relieved. I am so sick of this country separating mothers and their children for no fucking reason. I felt so awful for this woman when I read about this. So incredibly awful.
This country cannot keep ripping mothers and children apart. It’s inhuman. I really want it stopped. I don’t know how to stop it.
It was the bad press that finally did it. Nobody in the Trump administration gives a damn about decency.
I’m sure. That’s the only reason they said anything about the little girl who died - bad press.
It would be nice, too, if the Trumpp admin ended policies that cause a lot of 2-yr olds to die with their families in places like Yemen.
Trumpp and Kushner have handed US Middle East policy over to Israel and the Saudi Barbarians. The leaders of those countries are ignoring their strong disagreements with one another right now so they can take advantage of our pliable and stupid leadership for as long as it lasts.
There will be a reckoning, or at least I keep telling myself and anyone who will listen to me that there will be a reckoning.
I started to say that I want an end to that policy. The situation in Yemen has depressed me a lot. We have some consensus in Congress over Kashoggi and they passed a resolution to end our involvement. Now they have to really make that something with teeth if they can. That’s really the President’s bailiwick but he should have to get Congressional consent. They need to roll back the damn AUMF.
In this country these days you have to fight to let a mother see her dying child. It’s sadistic. I wish Christmas angels would come down and gently carry us all to January 3 so we can wake up with a sixth of the government in human hands. This is just awful.
I’m extatic this family gets to support each other in their time of difficulty.
You’ll have to forgive me not cebrating the monsters themselves acting marginally less like monsters for one millisecond.
They were forced to. Usually not considered praiseworthy. Give that ravishing kitty a holiday hug from me.
This administration is cold hearted and evil. They were dug in until the horror of this was revealed in the press. This mother finally has the opportunity to hold her dear child one more time. It should never have come to this. The cruelty of Trump and his administration is Un- American. My heart breaks for this family.
What is it with this administration and mothers? They just don’t seem to be able to be cruel enough to mothers and their children.
These people are so vile.

Like tena, I am relieved but cannot broach being ecstatic just yet. Not while these craven and villainous people masquerading as Republican leaders continue to hollow out what remains of our humanity. Change is coming - I can hardy wait until it smashes the status quo.
This was a desperately sad story when I read it the other day. I didn’t think the administration would relent. They did. I’m choosing to see a little bit of silver lining in the fact that, for once, I was a little bit too cynical.
That this rates as news demonstrates how sick and twisted our country has become. This is a no-brainer. There should be no question whether this poor woman in this horrendous situation should be allowed into the country. It should be “yes” always, every time. How I loathe these scumbags.
We should have done everything we could to facilitate her coming here as quickly as possible.
That’s how civilized people behave.
Because the mother wanted to come to Oakland, it was on the front page of the SF newspaper, and on the comment board following the report, all the haters came out to spew. Including one numbnuts who said she should’ve married an American which would’ve made it easier to come here. Duh.
boy’s father, Ali Hassan, is a U.S. citizen who brought their son to California
Why did it fucking take over a year. Why now other than the press got the story…fuck this Admin, fuck Trump.
THIS is spot on. A very perceptive read on the situation. (Totally agree, btw).
Obama would have. But don’t get me started…
