they need to be repatriated to the church bigtree Jun 2018 #9

These rosaries were cofiscated before Trump became president. Ms. Toad Jun 2018 #18

I understand that, but it is still happening. pazzyanne Jun 2018 #27

What "rule" or crap allows, if at all, them to confiscate personal items? Bernardo de La Paz Jun 2018 #8

Great questions! pazzyanne Jun 2018 #28

The difference is that items taken are to be cataloged and returned to the owner. olegramps Jun 2018 #35

That is still the law - Ms. Toad Jun 2018 #45

Simple. Return them of give them or their replacement value. I don't demand anything other from both olegramps Jun 2018 #59

The regulation only provides for retention for 30 days. Ms. Toad Jun 2018 #61
