Trump's worst crime -Kidnapping kids at the border.

[Cyrano]

Thousands of children, from babies to teens, have been separated from their families at the border.

Many may never see their parents for years. And many others may never see their families again.

Trump's inhumanity has caused this despicable crime at the border. Would-be Latin immigrants have been treated like criminals and had their children stolen from them. No records have been kept to help reunite families.

If our next president is a Democrat, she/he will have to deal with this horror. They will have to try to match thousands of children with parents who may have already been deported.

Trump, and every thug that's enabled him, must be made to pay for this horrible crime against humanity. Yes, -- Crime against humanity.

Imagine your child being ripped away from you and sent to who knows where. Imagine a child losing his mother/father/caretaker being torn away from their loved one and ending up in some American Republican hell. -- This is a crime against humanity. This is a crime against individual human beings who have lost their children or their mothers/fathers, and don't know what America is going to do them next.

Why should anyone doubt that Republicans don't give a shit about the lives of Latin refugees. They don't care if they live or die, or if they ever see their children again.

What kind of people would tolerate this? In most civilized countries, the "great leader" would be dragged from office and then brought to justice. I now hesitate to call America a "civilized" country. After all, what civilization would have put an incompetent, ignorant, mentally challenged fool in charge? What civilized country would look the other way during a mass kidnapping?

1. Kidnapping with no real plan on how to return them...even worse.

There is no more provable, in-plain-sight crime of this administration than this one.

[sandensea]

2. Here's hoping he ends up like others who've done the same in the past

[duforsure]

3. How long before the lawsuits start

Against the government, and civil ones for trump and all involved. They will be taken to court for intentionally doing this to the children and their families.

[Cyrano]

6. Lawsuits? People don't want money. They want their children

The lawsuits can come later.

[Fresh_Start]

4. I honestly think its even worse that kidnapping the kids...

its kidnapping kids AND giving the kids to supporters or organizations sponsored by supporters with no intention of ever giving the kids back..

[Pachamama]

32. Human trafficking and sex trade

Seriously- I believe it goes that far and deep and dark....

[Fresh_Start]

34. I do believe its human trafficking...sex trade hadn't occurred to me

i merely thought they were selling babies and children to childrenless couples....now I'm even more appalled at the thought that some of those poor children might be being sexually abused.

[malaise]

5. This should have 500 recs

and should be a main topic at the UN Security Council.

[Hortensis]

7. The most clearly evil indication that what the Republicans

have become have no identifiable limits and that their voters will support whatever their leader does. Citizenship will be no protection if they get the power to get away with kidnapping and imprisoning Americans who try to oppose them.

[IcyPeas]

8. why are media (and politicians) banned from entering these facilities?

Why can't someone be granted permission to go into these facilities with a camera? This infuriates me.

[Cyrano]

9. Seems that America now has Gulags. No cameras allowed

[mgardener]

10. Anyone other then me

Think we are creating future terrorists?

[Cyrano]

11. Future terrorists?? What about today's GOP terrorists?

[LiberalArkie]

12. Just remember that the Republicans accuse Democrats of things that they themselves are guilty of.

White helmets carting off injured kids and the kids bodies found later missing organs. I guess kind of like what the Republicans said went on in the basement of the pizza parlor. It seems to be happening all over the world.

[scarytomcat]

26. yes they always project what the are guilty off

stealing kids is low as it gets
please prosecute these abusers and return ALL the children

[dawnie51]

13. I still believe these kids ....

ha ve been adopted out to "Christian homes". At least the young, malleable ones. As for the rest, God only knows. Just a nightmare all the way around.

[BigmanPigman]

14. They intentionally planned to keep kids separated

and Stephen Miller is the criminal who should be front and center of a criminal investigation and then try him.

[uponit7771]

15. I lost my dog for 3 hours and went nuts !! I could imagine if it was my child. I ... don't know

[keithbvadu2]

16. Child trafficking is very profitable for Trump's pals who run the camps.

[Cyrano]

21. Umm, need some details on this

These camps are a horror and America will forever bear the shame.

But you're suggesting that those who run the camps are selling children (for adoption? for sex? for ... what?).

This is a serious charge. Can you please provide some more detail or some proof?

[keithbvadu2]

28. Who said they were selling children?

Who said they were selling children?

[Leghorn21]

17. K&R,

goddamit

[BlueJac]

18. Putin must be in a dream state...

destroying America from within. Start the cancer, beat the drums of hatred, hate the government, etc...

Unreal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[slumcamper]

19. I'm waiting for our new Congress to intorduce a "Family Reunification Act."

Will they? When? Perhaps I've missed it; I hope so.

If not, this is something that congressional Democrats MUST demand. If not Democrats, then who?

We must not let this horror--amid many of those that have occurred during this administration--die in darkness.

I'm calling my congressman NOW. It's the least I can do. Will you do the same?

[slumcamper]

24. Update: Kudos to Michigan 2 & congressman Huizenga!

https://huizenga.house.gov/uploadedfiles/6.21.18.huizenga.reunification.legislation.pdf

No resolution number yet. Now, I can call Loebsack and encourage support.

[Initech]

20. The "crisis" at the border is the product of....

40 years of racists and xenophobes being fed unchecked propaganda that caters to their fear and anxiety. It's a manufactured nothing burger.

[Cha]

22. Exactly! A Crime Against Humanity.

[lunatica]

23. Everyone who was part of this crime should be prosecuted.

It is absolutely a crime Against humanity.

I even think the United Nations should be involved. And maybe The Hague too. Children died as a result of Trump policies.

[GeorgeGist]

25. You'd think the Moral Majority would be outraged ...

but they're neither.

[Brawndo]

31. Moral Majority? More like the legions of Hell.

They are neither moral nor a majority, never let them get away with claiming either point.

[Liberty Belle]

27. It's a crime against humanity under international law.

They should all be prosecuted and imprisoned, and efforts made to track down every child, pay reparations to families as was done when Japanese-Americans were wrongly interned, and do everything conceivable to atone for this to the degree that is even possible.

The Republicans and Trump are hypocrites to call themselves pro-life, hand-wringing over the fate of every fertilized egg when they are being so malicious toward thousands of innocent children already born and feeling terrible pain from these separations.

God only knows if some of them have been trafficked, on top of the other abuses.

[eShirl]

29. +1

[dalton99a]

33. +1. Absolutely.

30. Report: Missing Migrant Children Being Funneled Through Christian Adoption Agency

The Trump administration says it can’t reunite missing migrant children with their families; instead, many of the children are being shipped to a Christian adoption agency with ties to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.

Earlier this week the Trump administration told a federal court that it would require too much effort to reunite migrant children with their parents. Associated Press reports:

The Trump administration says it would require extraordinary effort to reunite what may be thousands of migrant children who have been separated from their parents and, even if it could, the children would likely be emotionally harmed.
