Tell me that is not child trafficking.

https://nypost.com/2018/06/20/kids-taken-from-parents-at-border-brought-to-nyc-foster-agency/

Bringing kids in the dead of the night to a foster care agency in nyc.

More than 350 migrant kids — as young as 9 months old — have been sent to a single Harlem foster care provider since the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy on separating children from parents at the border began, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Wednesday.


I wonder how much money is going to change hands in terms of adoption fees and have these kids snatched from their parents.

Also, it gives us an insight into the conditions in the detention centers :


The youngsters arrive riddled with lice, bed bugs and chicken pox from the immigration detention facilities they were held in before being bused to the Big Apple, and are also suffering trauma from the separation, de Blasio says the workers there told him.



This Is happening in America in 2018.

The only positive I see if I look really hard is that they are in nyc and mayor de blasio might be able to help them.

Ushering kids through NYC in the dark. How terrified must those children be!

I just can't believe this is America in 2018.

I am so ashamed.
