They see “snipers n soldiers” and helicopters and mothers beaten. Think we got problems now? These kids will grow up traumatized, insecure and who knows what other problems. We’re doing that to them. We gotta stop this..it’s gone way too far.

why hasn't it become mainstream? There are tons of documented eyewitness accounts of ICE abusing people but the media is silent.
