Trump Admin Held Back Phone Numbers and Addresses That Could Have Reunited Separated Migrant Childre

[people]

Source: The New Civil Rights Movement

"The Trump administration has been holding back information, including telephone numbers and addresses, of parents whose children they separated at the border. The administration, in a deliberate and planned program intentionally broke apart migrant families to send a message to others from Central America to not come to the United States.

After federal courts ordered the administration to reunite families, 666 children remained without families. Investigators feared they would never see them reunited because the Trump administration had made little effort from the start to track them. There was never any intention to reunite the families when the program was instituted.

.....................

But now, in the waning days of the Trump administration, it turns out all along they had information that could have helped to reunite the children with their parents, but refused to hand it over.

'Legal advocates tasked by a federal judge with helping to find migrant families separated at the U.S. border in 2017 and 2018 say that after months of pleas, the government last week handed over new data that could be critical to helping them find the families,' NBC News reports."

These people should all be prosecuted -- minimally for contempt of court.

[tblue37]

1. Crimes against humanity; child abuse; torture.

[TryLogic]

34. Crimes against humanity, child abuse, etc. -- absolutely.

PROSECUTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iluvtennis]

44. + 2. nt

[onetexan]

58. All of those who participated in that decision need to be prosecuted @the Hague

This clearly is a human rights violation of immense cruelty &evil.

[AllyCat]

59. Yes!

[aeromanKC]

48. I'm not a lawyer, but pretty sure The Hague and UN will not accept Trump's self-pardon

[femmedem]

2. Monsters. n/t

[Leghorn21]

3. Miserable fucks

WE’RE COMING FOR YOU

SLEEP WELL, MOTHERFUCKERS

[niyad]

26. Wrong. May they never know a moment of peace or ease.

[Leghorn21]

35. Absolutely, niyad...I was exhibiting

, and may they all get ripped from their mothers’ bosoms *daily* after they die and go to a merciless, apocalyptic afterworld for ever and ever, ah fuckin men

[OregonBlue]

4. Evil people. I hope they are prosecuted for this.

[Tanuki]

5. Horrific, deliberate cruelty. This is also a condemnation of any "Christian"

(and anyone else) who would stand for this depravity.

[calimary]

20. And they SURE AS HELL AREN'T "pro-life"!!!

[ConstanceCee]

6. Give Names

Who in the "Trump Administration" withheld this information? Why?

[CaptYossarian]

7. Allow me to paraphrase from the real Tea Party era:

I regret that these dicks each have just one soul to burn in Hell.

That includes the rotten woman who said sleeping in the cages were "just like camping".

Death by paper cuts to all in this administration and the GOP senators who acquitted Orange Hitler. A nice turpentine shower should prevent infection.

[calimary]

22. I like that, Capt.

I TOO regret that each of these despicable, detestable dicks has but one soul to burn in Hell.

A policy of deliberate cruelty.

A POLICY.

Seriously, what does that say about them?

And more importantly, what does that say for those of us who don’t fight them and resist them and beat them back with every ounce of our strength and our strategic thinking?

At least that mindset is what keeps me motivated.

[CaptYossarian]

24. It says even more about the 74 million who voted for them AFTER this occurred.

That's way too many sickos who slither among us.

That thought alone makes it easier to stay safe at home.

[ananda]

8. Still the definition of pure evil!

Criminal fuckers, all of them!

[Maraya1969]

9. This can be a state charge. Put that fucker in jail. Along with Steven Goebbels

[ancianita]

10. Wondering if they can be charged with conspiracy to commit crimes against humanity.

[CaptYossarian]

25. Trump isn't a fan of the UN or anything else global.

They'd be the ones to hang his ass out to dry. We might be able to trust our Senate in a few weeks, but don't count on it.

It would be ironic if history repeated itself and this generation of Hitlerites escaped to South America. Bolsonaro would welcome a kindred spirit and the boys would have several more endangered species to murder.

What other atrocities will be uncovered after Biden and humans (as opposed to monsters) finally take charge

[bucolic_frolic]

12. Sadistic cruelty for their own pleasure

Hope authorities catch these people and jail them for several decades. This is a crime against children and humanity. Hold it over their heads, away from investigators.

[rickyhall]

13. 666 children? Interesting.

The Ghoul might really be a ghoul. Oh, yeah & dead people voting. Weirder & weirder.

[patphil]

32. Yeah, 666 is considered a Satanic number.

[TomDaisy]

14. send these motherfuckers to the Hague. Now.

[TygrBright]

15. They are just SUCH evil fucks. n/t

[LudwigPastorius]

16. Evil.

Not just stupid, racist, and greedy...These people are evil.

If Biden & Harris don't 'DeTrumpify' what's left in the federal government after they get in, we're all going to have to deal with that evil again at some point.

[dlk]

17. The sadism is the point

There aren’t words vile enough.

[Botany]

18. I hate those mother fuckers ... trying to hurt children and families .. Stephen Miller is vile.

40. And that Nazi is fawning over his new daughter. I wish he knew how it'd feel to have her go missing.

[Chicagogrl1]

19. This hurts my heart so much 💔

The cruelty is unfathomable! I pray the incoming administration can reunite these families. I wish i could do something to help. It is so upsetting & i 🙏🏻 that that Miller & tRump pay for this evil behavior.

[CaptYossarian]

27. There will undoubtedly be international help.

I'd bet former Mexico president Vicente Fox can coordinate the other Latin countries with help from the UN.

Seeing cooperation and humanity once again will heal all our hearts.

[AllyCat]

21. There is no hell hot enough for these deviants.

They must be tried and incarcerated.

[liberalla]

23. I can't even find words to describe the anger and disgust I feel... or the sorrow.

[wendyb-NC]

28. Sickening, evil, bastards.

They truly must be held accountable, they are dangerous criminals.

[cp]

29. Special. Place. In. Hell.

After remainder of life in prison.

[LittleGirl]

30. This should not be ignored!

I just want to know who, what, where, when, how and finally...Why?
WTF is wrong with those people.

This is why he wants to pardon himself!
Gdamnit

[jmowreader]

31. You guys really don't understand what's going on here

There’s a big thing among certain people who claim to be Christians: adopting children from overseas.

Russia used to be a large source of these kids, but the Russian government shut that down years ago. So...now there are people who want to adopt non-American kids and no kids for them to adopt.

Then come the migrant caravans from Central and South America. Bingo: deport the parents and let these false Christs adopt the now-stranded children.

Only problem was that Trump and his minions got caught, otherwise all these kids would now have been adopted out.

I want Trump and everyone around him locked up in fucking Alcatraz for this shit. Right now the Alcatraz Tour is just of the grounds and not the inside of the buildings; there is no reason it can’t continue to be that way.

[people]

36. What's going on here . . .

I bet there are kids to adopt here but they are darker skinned and/or disabled and the "Christians" may not want to adopt them. While the children coming across the border who were stolen from their families may not be white white, they may be whiter than many children who are available for adoption. Wish there was a way to prove what you have posted -- I bet you are correct.

[LymphocyteLover]

38. Hmmm, a work around of Russian sanctions.... good thought

[crickets]

46. *ding*ding*ding* Nailed it.

Two search keys will tell you all you need to know: Betsy DeVos, Bethany Christian Services. There are vile monsters involved in this, and all of them need to be tried and locked up.

33. The Trump Administration should be prospected for crimes against humanity.

[LymphocyteLover]

37. That seems, hmm... how should I put it?

FREAKING GODDAMN EVIL!!!

[Liberty Belle]

39. Jail them for contempt of court until they turn these over.

Monsters, all.

[EarthFirst]

41. Firing squad becomes more and more appealing by the day... nt

[Evolve Dammit]

42. They truly are fucking monsters, and I can't believe it happened in our name, on our soil. JFC.

[Paladin]

43. I hope none of you is the least bit surprised by this.

Why would anybody expect the trump administration to do anything decent?

[FM123]

45. Beyond sickening.

[McKim]

47. Tears in My Eyes!!!!

There are tears in the eyes of this retired Migrant Teacher!!!!! Somebody needs to be prosecuted for this crime against humanity!!!!! Jail time!!!!!

[Solly Mack]

49. Trumpochet. Trumpco.

And don't forget Betsy DeVos' role in this. DeVos and her Bethany Christian Services.

[Blue Owl]

50. Take Miller's baby away from him

Let's see how he likes it

[electric_blue68]

51. I wish I COULD say "Unbelievable!!!"...

But this prez and admin...




The cruelty IS the point!

[klook]

53. The cruelty is indeed the point.

One of the sick reasons the Republican base loves Trump so much is that he "hurts the right people."

What I’ve been struck most by in talking to some of these Trump voters over the years is that they honestly didn’t expect that he would make them fabulously rich. They didn’t think they would personally get much out of it. They were confident that politicians didn’t really care about people like them and that good jobs weren’t coming back from overseas. They didn’t even really believe that things would be better for their kids or grandkids.

But they did think Trump would hurt the right people, at least. That usually came down to believing some combination of him kicking the immigrants out, cracking down on crime, saving unborn babies and restoring “traditional” marriage. If they couldn’t be happy, at least all the less-deserving people would get theirs.

It was revenge politics at its finest and Trump masterfully tapped into that.

54. Not to mention...

smart, independent single, (or married) women, Blacks, already born here Lantinx, Asians, Middle Easterners, and Native Americans.

Maybe people on various gov't assistance, too.

Have I left any one out?

[bluestarone]

52. Investigate and file charges on EVERYONE involved here!!

Wonder who has standing to file lawsuits?

[Initech]

55. Biden should *NOT* even think about pardoning Trump. He must answer for this atrocity.

[ShazzieB]

56. GRRRRR!!!!!!!!

Those assholes! Those lowdown, dirty, lying, conniving shitweasels!
They deserve ANY punishment that could be thrown at them and MORE. These "people" (not sure they deserve to be called that) make me SICK!!!

[PatrickforO]

57. Thank you for posting this. I was not aware of the new civil rights movement website.

As to Trump and his administration, I believe they should be indicted and prosecuted for crimes against humanity. Separating families in this cruel manner and then withholding the telephone numbers and other contact data constitutes genocide.

Life in prison without parole. From Trump, Bannon, and Miller, all the way down to the cruel private prison guard. And we should not buy the old 'I was only following orders' excuse any more than we did at Nuremberg.

[BobTheSubgenius]

60. I could believe they were asking for money in exchange.

Pulling wings off flies. Malevolent bastards!!

[Oldem]

61. A word of consolation

I'm as outraged as everyone who has replied to this post. But the long view of history will have it's say, even if we can't somehow reunite the shattered families, reform the venal religious bigots, get World Court convictions, or any of the rest of it. In Julius Caesar, Shakespeare writes, "The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones." There'll be no "good" interred with dump's rotting carcass, but the evil he has done will be remembered and written about for the foreseeable future. He wanted to be a Colossus, but he'll be remembered as a monster of a completely different sort. I know that does nothing to soothe the present rage. But rage is corrosive, and maybe we can be at least partially assuaged in knowing that this perverse psychopath will be judged by a higher court than we can convene, here and now.
