Very emotional scene inside Dulles airport this morning when an 11 y/o, held by ICE for 6+ months, reunited with his mother & grandmother. He claimed asylum at the border and was detained, yet the mom was already living legally in VA. She sued the Trump administration & won.

(2,699 posts)that at least our Gestapo-ICE is still subject to laws still on the books since before IQ45 was given the reins of power.
And I say "still" because we've crumbled so badly as a civilized nation since IQ45 took the reins that it's still very possible that our decline into corporate-fascist rule will reach ugly fruition.
