Rachel Maddow reveals details of how a 5-year-old in a bunny hat ended up in a Trump jail

Watching Maddow weave thru (oh, okay... through) and unravel the intricacies, conflations, lunacy and outright BATSHITERY of Trump and MAGAWORLD is a wonder to behold.

To hear and see her dissect, then reassemble, in the language of sound rationale and reason, that which is irrational and unreasonable - while simultaneously wearing an expression of abject astonishment coupled with sheer disgust for the absurdity of it all... well... it's akin to watching poetry in motion, actually. An art form, by which she strips the chaff from the pure, unadulterated bullshit, to reveal it in all its gory. Yeah. I left out the L.

Rachel Maddow reveals details of how a 5-year-old in a bunny hat ended up in a Trump jail - Rawstory via MSN

MS NOW's Rachel Maddow revealed chilling new details on Monday about just how Immigration and Customs Enforcement managed to whisk away Liam Ramos, the 5-year-old boy in Minneapolis seen on camera in the protests, to the child detention facility in Dilley, Texas, so quickly.

"We know they sent this little boy to prison in Texas. How did he get there?" she continued. "How did he get from standing in his bunny hat, his black and white coat, and his Spider-Man backpack in Minnesota to a Trump prison camp one day later? How did they do it? Well, now, thanks to Nick Benson, we can see that part of the story. We can have a view now into the machinery of Trump's system for locking up little kids, for locking up families, a view that we've not had before. And it's because Nick Benson knows the Minneapolis Airport like the inside of his own car, right? Because he knows the flight schedules, he knows the layout of the gates. He knows roughly when Liam had to have traveled. And because of all that, because of what he's been doing, Nick Benson was able to tear this thing open."

The breakthrough came through official channels. After formally requesting copies of video surveillance from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, Maddow said, Benson finally saw what he was looking for: footage of Liam and his father being led onto a Delta flight to San Antonio at Gate F13, by figures who were either federal agents or government contractors working with them.

According to Maddow, this discovery revealed a disturbing pattern. This, said Maddow, is the "other part of what they call ICE Air, not the flights on charter aircraft or contract aircraft that load up people in shackles, right? But this other part that is happening quietly around all the rest of us unsuspecting passengers on passenger airlines in regular airports, flying prisoners to Trump prison camps to be held without trial, including little kids."


Isn't the word for that, KIDNAPPING?
