“It’s hard to believe it’s actually happening,” said Kathleen Bretz, 23, a mother of two boys. “It’s like we’re stepping back a hundred years with people put in this little camp, locking them up like animals. It’s twisted and shameful. It’s not right.”
Claudia Eliaz, 35, a mother of three, said there was no justification for breaking up families. “It’s just horrible. And that it’s happening here in Tornillo ...” Her voice trailed off.
Children are being separated from their parents and then the Federal gov't somehow "loses track" of them. Really?
Are these kids being killed? Sold as slaves? Sold to wealthy childless couples who have a felony record of violence or other disqualifying characteristic for legal adoption? Taken as trophy children to be raised by their captors as was done in latin american dictatorships?
If any of these things were happening, how would we know?
remember when the internet was fun and full of possibilities? yknow how now it's a miserable hell? reminder that what happened is that capitalism colonized it and now it's just as shitty as everything else capitalism's got its hooks in

Ever since 1984, when the federal gov't conducted the Rex 84 Alpha exercise, the right wing has been warning of the danger of internment camps on federal land.
Now that this is actually happening, where are these folks?

When Melania Trump met with detained children at the Texas border on Thursday, she struck a compassionate tone, asking staff at the facility: “How I can help ... these children to reunite with their families as quickly as possible?”
Earlier in the day, though, the first lady’s attire sent a different message. As she boarded a plane to Texas, she appeared to be wearing a Zara jacket with the astonishing caption: “I really don’t care. Do U?”
By declaring the immigration system “broken”, the Trump administration attempts to justify any and all measures they seek to use, up to and including child trauma and psychological torture of parents. None of this is unavoidable. It is the product of individual politicians looking for creatively perverse ways to exploit a hot button issue, immigration.
Sorry, Mr President. A tough dilemma is how to keep your sanity when your baby or toddler has just been ripped from you by immigration officers.
For most normal adults, this is an astonishingly simple choice: do you prove your toughness by brutalizing children or do you treat them with the essential sympathy that we like to call human nature?

#ICE has shut down operations indefinitely due to "security concerns". No agents attempted to enter building today and have also cancelled appointments for tomorrow. The facility is non-operational. Other cities are raising their banners and organizing similar actions.
Trump's executive order is bullshit and any media source claiming otherwise is fucking lying
We're here for abolition
Even Portland Police wont engage given political pressure
*clarification: ICE has shut down operations specifically at the Portland office.
