...it has all the elements of the human tragedy Trump is exacerbating and escalating.

Foster families wanting to keep these children permanently have a huge edge over the actual parents, in proximity to locations where the cases are adjudicated, to the fact that most parents will not be able to meet the requirements for custody.

The unfairness in our govt. prosecuting their parents as criminals, precipitating the separation, and placing the children well out of their reach or influence can't be understated. The US is effectively kidnapping these children and setting them up for eventual adoption.

Whatever the motive (and there is a dirty trail of money behind these group homes and foster agencies receiving these kids), this is an abomination, made even more egregious by the president of the United States openly slurring and degrading the character and reputation of these people seeking refuge.
