Ibis Obeida Guzman Colindres was supposed to see her son again in three days.

That’s what she said she was told when a federal official took the 5-year-old away at an immigration facility in Texas. They would be reunited after Guzman Colindres went to court.

“It’s been a month and I haven’t heard my son’s voice,” she said.

Guzman Colindres is one of roughly 200 immigrants recently transferred by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the SeaTac prison. Some, like Guzman Colindres, a 25-year-old from Honduras who tried to cross the border in mid-May, are parents who were separated from their children after crossing the border — a practice that has generated fierce controversy and congressional bills, including one announced by Republicans Thursday, that would stop it from happening.

So they are separating parents from children, then transferring the parents far away from the children for added measure.

1. There is a quick way to be reunited.

But it's not chosen.

4. And that choice is?

11. No there isn't.

kiddy jails are so profitable for the evil GOP and there so called non-profit minions.

2. I would lose my mind

NOT IN MY NAME, YOU EVIL BASTARDS!

3. Same here. It shouldn't be happening at all. Then to go the extreme of transferring the parent to

a state far away from where the child is being held.

Why in the hell are they doing that? To hammer in the pain even more?

[Hekate]

5. Yes, to hammer the pain to the max. Watching Jeff "Jim Crow" Sessions smile & twinkle while...

...explaining that St Paul in his wisdom had explained in his letters to the Romans that Gawd establishes government and it must be obeyed made me want to hurl something at my tv and scream.

He (Jeff Beauregard, our AG) also explicitly stated in the past few days that this policy (which they keep calling a law) is designed to be so completely painful as to be a deterrent to anyone who even thinks of applying for sanctuary at our borders.

You know, last night I could not even sleep because of these unspeakable acts.

NOT IN MY NAME, YOU EVIL BASTARDS!

6. Not in my name either, Hekate.

And not in the name of my Senators and Representative, who are fighting tooth and nail against this.

7. K&R

8. There are some seriously fucked up and evil forces at work right now.

If we're not in Nazi Germany territory we're getting there.

9. Too damn true.

[Demsrule86]

10. The bill the GOP came up with would not stop it...in fact children could be held indefinitely.
