who was reunited with his mother. She had a lawsuit to get him back so they released him. The mother was overwhelmed with emotion and hugging the boy - his affect was flat, eyes vacant.

Defense subcontractor in an office building with few windows.

Do not be afraid to think the worst. There’s NO transparency, anything could be happening.

Almost $50k of taxpayer money. That would've put some kid through community college on a 4 year degree.

I mean, what would motivate a sane human being to take a child and keep it captive away from the parent? $700 a day, that's what. It would cost, what, $50 a day tops to house a child somewhere?

in the opportunity to inflict pain and suffering on small vulnerable brown children. And I fear a lot of them can be found working for our various immigration services.

I don't believe for a second that this is government incompetence. This program was designed to be as cruel as possible.

THere was NO PLAN to reunite the children with parents, and no steps taken to even create a decent paper trail.

There was extortion against parents who came here seeking asylum -- they were forced to choose between getting their child back and getting deported, or getting deported without their children.

The total lack of transparency for the whole mess is highly suspicious. We have not YET (to my knowledge) found out where the infants are, and where the girls are.

The whole thing was planned to exact as much suffering on the asylum seekers -- and those coming in illegally -- as possible, without any consequences whatsoever.

I find the whole thing genocidal in tone and tenor, if not fact.

heinously traumatic experience with them forever.

Are the Kidnappers paying for therapy? The families should be monetarily compensated at the very least.
