Jacob Soboroff is one of the only reporters given access to the child detention camps operated by the U.S. government, and he was horrified by what he saw there.
The reporter appeared Friday on Morning Joe to process the experience, which he said was the most unnerving in his life.
I witnessed one of the most despicable moments in modern American history, Soboroff said. I saw kids locked in cages, sitting on floors, supervised by security guard contractors in a watch tower in McAllen, Texas.

I hope somehow he stands before the world court for crimes against humanity on that someday.

He sure has come a long way this obviously has shaken him. I notice the smirk is gone.

Then he is above the rule of law, and his abuse of power will escalate against us all. He'll threaten us with destruction if he thinks he is going down. He will try.

that is what is fueling his supporters fear of people not being like them, white.
