But letā€™s focus on the real issue here. They canā€™t be concentration camps due to obvious reasons! (/s)

The total number of children separated from their families is up to 5500, according to the administration. This is despite multiple judicial rulings prohibiting the practice and requiring the administration to reunite children with their families.

I hope he is impeached and removed over the election interference. Iā€™ll accept him getting voted out, which is the more likely path. But the real crimes heā€™s committed against humanity are the concentration camps on the border and enabling Turkish genocide against the Kurds. Once heā€™s out of the White House, he should be convicted of these offenses and given over to these people heā€™s harmed most for sentencing. If there was justice.

That they know of.

Itā€™s likely many of these children will never be reunited with their families because of such shoddy record keeping, and the administrationā€™s general ĀÆ\_(惄)_/ĀÆ attitude to the whole thing.

IOW Trump literally kidnapped thousands of children and made them wards of the State until, what - they get deported somewhere thatā€™s hopefully the right country? (They are all the same, right?)

I have lived in Lafayette, and itā€™s a hole. Iā€™ve got nothing good to say about it.

There are a few progressive, open-minded people associated with the university, but everybody else is basically the reason Pence got elected governor.

Odds she would deny that PR was part of the US? Insisting on a visa for a US citizen does not speak well of her educational achievement.

She probably does think that PR is not part of the US. Half of all Americans donā€™t realize this.

Whatā€™s worse is her insisting that he provide a visa, and asking about his immigration status. For cold medicine, of all things. Even if he was there on a student visa, what business is it of hers? You donā€™t need to be a US citizen to buy cold medicine.

Maybe she genuinely thought he was illegal because he was Latino, or maybe she just felt like hassling the kid because he was from the college. Town vs gown relations are seriously that bad over there, so she might have just been hassling him.
