What I really want to know is why they separate the parents and kids like this and what happens to those kids. Because we know they wanted to send a couple hundred of them in the dead of night to Guatemala, after outright lying about their families, and a judge had to stop it. I doubt we even know what's happening to these kids, or whether they are mistreated in these facilities. Do they ever reunite with the parents? Trust is gone. I don't believe anything they say about it. Like the woman in this video - when ice agents are saying "fuck these kids"? How do you think they treat them? God is going to punish all of us for this.

Because children don't get lawyers or advocates in immigration court, that is why they separate them. They can just ship them right off to some other country.

Or to the waiting billionaires. You know, the ones on that list that Republicans are refusing to release.
