The government says if any of the children were granted asylum but their parents were deported,

the government is unable to facilitate reunification.

https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4593359/7-10-18-US-Notice-of-Compliance-Ms-L.pdf

p. 8

Moreover, if the child has already obtained relief and is in lawful status, then Defendants would not have the ability to facilitate reunification with a parent abroad. Because pieces of this process are out of Defendants hands, Defendants request that the Court allow for a flexible schedule for such removals that considers the need to complete these steps prior to removal for reunification.

What if Princess Ivanka took her kids to a country and cops swept in and spirited them away and she didn't know where they were going or if she'd ever see them again? It's kids and their parents we're talking about. How can this be happened in our country??????

I just came here from a thread with more "they go low, we go high" bullshit.

THAT'S how this happened to our country!

Nazis -- including real, self-identified ones -- have been chomping at the bit to take over completely and remove all individual rights that might get in their way.

And the left has sat on its collective hands, saying, "just be nice, they'll see the error of their ways."

Instead, the right has seen that we are such push-overs that we'll actually tell each other not to oppose the onslaught.

The right fights for everything it wants in whatever way it can -- decency and fairness be damned.

The left doesn't fight at all. It sends an occasional strongly-worded letter before caving and asking the right for a list of everything they want. (Just to be nice and above the fray)
----------------------
When they go low, we need to expose them, criticize them, call them the names they deserve to be called.

When they go low, we need to beat them into the ground till they can't be ID'd by their dental records.
----------------------
Otherwise, we've just conceded the fight to them and there's no point asking how we got here.

This is insanely stupid and cruel. It really is a crime against humanity.

This is not our United States anymore. It has been swiped from us by a tyrant and his henchman.
We must fight for our country. Come election time, vote Blue. Make sure people you know are Democrat are registered. Car pool any and all Democrats to the polls.

It is their mission, their OBLIGATION, to deliver souls to Jesus.

Maybe that’s why the toddlers were moved to Michigan in the dead of night.

Than a statement of fact. In what specific cases did that happen and why?

I call bullshit as they are doing DNA tests because they have no idea who belongs to who so how the hell do they know they gave someone asylum and not their parent!?!
