Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
um ... I really hope it's not true, but I've read some reports that they aren't tracking which kids came with which parent(s), making reuniting them difficult if not impossible
And a number of people have raised questions about where the girls and very young children are - the photos that were released by DHS are all of boys and adults. I fear the worst.
Or entrails. IJS.
It may come to that.
According to NYT and the Guardian Trump is signing an executive order today to keep families detained together.
No doubt with the vile bogus potus spouting on about how he just had to stop this horrible situation Obama created the moment he heard about it.
I do not even know how they can make this right. Sen Nelson here is Florida tried to get access to a facility at Homestead with a thousand occupants, after being told he could, and was denied entry. Told to come back in two weeks. His job is oversight. This is in his state. It is just insane.
It's still the same system where little kids have been supposedly representing themselves in immigration court, right? What a fucking cluster, regardless of what happens next.

I had read some reports of the young girls basically being babysitters for the toddlers and infants. Who knows. I can guarantee there won't be congressional committees investigating.
Today's irony (well, possibly MOST ironic) - today is World Refugee Day.
It's so terrible and I can't even imagine how a fix could happen, but clearly something needs to!
I took the afternoon off with a stomachache, but maybe my stomach hurts because everything is awful. Who knows.
Just for a change, something NICE.
And a very brief video of a cute costume and the right way to take a picture.
It sickens me but I don't think any of the children who have already been kidnapped will ever be returned to their parents.
And the "keep families together" executive order sounds very much like we're just building all-ages concentration camps now. The GOP will treat is as a grand moral victory and wonder why those of us with working souls still aren't satisfied.

From what I've read, not only is that correct, but ICE has been destroying paperwork (such as it is) as they go.
Moreover, there are multiple instances of toddler aged children or younger (8 months) being kept in detention while their parents have already been deported. So...good luck with that 8 month old child being able to identify their parents, should the parents make it back to America.
The damage is already being done. This trauma has already been created. But it can get worse.
