Alma Jacinto covered her eyes with her hands as tears streamed down her cheeks.
The 36-year-old from Guatemala was led out of the federal courtroom without an answer to the question that brought her to tears: When would she see her boys again?
Jacinto wore a yellow bracelet on her left wrist, which defense lawyers said identifies parents who are arrested with their children and prosecuted in Operation Streamline, a fast-track program for illegal border crossers.
While their parents are being prosecuted, children are deemed unaccompanied minors, an innocuous term that President Trump is nevertheless doing his best to turn into something menacing. Many of these children are then put into foster care—“or whatever,” as White House Chief of Staff John Kelly infamously put it—where, the government has admitted, hundreds of them simply fall through the cracks and disappear.
A top official with the Department of Health and Human Services told members of Congress on Thursday that the agency had lost track of nearly 1,500 migrant children it placed with sponsors in the United States, raising concerns they could end up in the hands of human traffickers or be used as laborers by people posing as relatives.
Regarding that whole "rounding people up" thing from the last thread:

Following that up, the kids separated from their parents during these deportations? The Federal Government has lost 1,500 of 'em and couldn't give a sh** less where they are.

When is the book burning coming? That is the logical next step right?
In certain parts of the nation, that's never left. There are flair ups in activity from time to time.
I'm fond of this:

The night before Trump delivered his first speech to Congress in February 2017, he huddled with senior adviser Jared Kushner and Miller in the Oval Office to talk immigration. The president reluctantly agreed with suggestions he strike a gentler tone on immigration in the speech.
Trump reminded them the crowds loved his rhetoric on immigrants along the campaign trail. Acting as if he was at a rally, he then read aloud a few made up Hispanic names and described potential crimes they could have committed, like rape or murder. Then, he said, the crowds would roar when the criminals were thrown out of the country — as they did when he highlighted crimes by illegal immigrants at his rallies, according to a person present for the exchange and another briefed on it later. Miller and Kushner laughed.
It's like the board of directors of Wal-Mart telling Sam Walton to go home because "what do you know about big box stores?"To aparch, about the EPA.
Don't worry, Hovey says those people were barred simply because the event was full, and he's got no problems with that. After all, no laws were broken, and no one was arrested.
Wow. Lindsey agrees with me. Mark your calendars.
I know but I mean the big ones! Where Trump stands in front of them! Time to go full Nazi and end the charade...
Sorry, hovey, you said exactly that. Did you want to clarify your statement?
Saw that article yesterday, just straight up disturbing.Regarding that whole "rounding people up" thing from the last thread:

*edit* I'd just like to add that I'm happy they found a way to re-use all those old Lance Armstrong bracelets...
... worried that Trump is going to round up all the journalists in a gulag.
Sorry, dx, I didn't.
Here is what rufus attributed to me:
"You yourself said just yesterday that you aren't worried about anything this president does until he starts rounding up and arresting people."
I'll wait. Go ahead and find a quote by me where I state that I'm not worried about anything this president does until he starts rounding up and arresting people.
The whole "arrest" discussion centered around a USA Today article, and then someone's question to me about whether I was worried about Trump's threat to arrest journalists. I said that I had no concern about Trump arresting journalists. He simply doesn't have the ability to do that, even as President.
I can't help it that some people (not journalists, by the way) are pizzing themselves worried that Trump is going to round up all the journalists in a gulag. But I don't worry about it.
But how you leap from that to rufus interpretation of my post is something someone else will have to explain.
