(5,210 posts)some of those children if not all have been trafficked. I know it.
Not sure anyone in the GOP was involved, tho one or two might have been. Mostly it's just the depraved, cruel agents.

Many of the complaints were made by teenagers who crossed without their parents known as unaccompanied minors as well as underage mothers who allege their babies were subjected to sour milk, lack of medical care and dirty, crowded and chilly holding rooms.

Does anyone else feel sick about this? Do we know they arent being enslaved, trafficked, experimented on, or brainwashed in some basement somewhere?
The Chris Hayes report described even young babies being taken away from their parents turned INTO children traveling alone in vast numbers.
