For this atrocity alone, Trump deserves impeachment and removal from office, along with all of his administration complicit in it!"When the administration started separating families at the southern U.S. border … there was no plan to track the families or even reunite them, even though their own experts warned these separations were causing harm,” Nan Schivone, the legal director for Justice in Motion, a U.S.-based migrant rights organization working to track down the deported parents, told KQED. “And here we are three years later, still dealing with the fallout.”
And the fallout is immense. For the children who were ripped away from their parents, theirs is an ongoing trauma. When their parents were deported, case workers would have to find a way to break the news to the children, often using maps and puppets to show the children how far it is between the United States and the child’s home country.
“We would have to say, ‘In many, many days you will be reunited with your parent, but we have to do a lot of paperwork,’” Alma Acevedo, who formerly worked for Bethany Christian Services, a foster care and adoption agency that has a federal contract to house immigrant children told the New York Times in 2019. “The kids would… start crying and it wasn’t just tears, it was screams.”
The cruelty of this policy was not just incidental. It was intentionally cruel, and Trump and his enablers, particularly Sessions, in effect, freely admitted as much! For this atrocity alone, Trump deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison!
All who refuse to condemn Trump and his enablers for this atrocity are heartless monsters, just like Trump himself!
