“They are the byproduct of an intentional strategy by the Trump administration to terrorize immigrant communities and criminalize immigration—from imprisoning children in inhumane conditions to threatening widespread raids to break up families to covering up reports of immigrants dying in U.S. custody and abuses by ICE and CBP agents.”

What they don't mention was the headcount. About one hundred people in total and one Maga counter protester

Just what do they think should be done with the children?

Can't help but be reminded that these people are kind of like the little boy going room to room throwing his tantrum.

Video if you care to watch.

Conditions at Fort Sill are much better than they are at the ICE camps on the border. Can't these Buddhists Japanese and Native "americans" go back to their own countries and gripe about things over there?

I don't like that "children" of any age or nationality are having to be housed, in any level of condition, but I have no suggestion for how they should be handled.

I think that's the argument between the two sides, but both sides of the media is pitting us all against each other to drive ratings as usual. I hate that kids are being housed too, but I also have no suggestions.

I suggest that their parents, for the most part, might consider not breaking the law. If they don't break the law, they won't find themselves seeing their kids in this situation. Novel idea huh; obey the law and thus your kids stay out of detention facilities?

I don't think President Trump is making anyone cross the border into the US illegally; is he?

It's almost like choices have consequences...

I'd contribute $5.00 to the Homeward Bound program to help fund their safe travels.
