Trump admin hands over names of children under 5 separated at border

(CNN)The Trump administration on Saturday released the names of children under the age of 5 who were separated from their parents at the US-Mexico border, complying with a federal court order. The move comes in advance of a Monday hearing on whether to extend the Tuesday deadline for reuniting the children with their families.

The American Civil Liberties Union received the list of the names of the nearly 100 children under the age of 5 who were separated from their parents at the border, according to a group spokesman.

US District Court Judge Dana Sabraw in San Diego ordered the list to be handed over by Saturday evening as he considers whether to extend the Tuesday deadline to reunify the families. But government officials say they need additional time to track down dozens of parents who are no longer in custody, including 19 who were already deported, Justice Department attorney Sarah Fabian said at a hearing Friday.

Friday's hearing was the latest in the ACLU lawsuit over the administration's family separations. The case includes a broader group of thousands of other children and parents, but the hearing focused largely on the pressing deadline for the children under 5.

5. That "our" government deported parents yet kept the children freaks me the hell out.

Seems they either had other plans for the children or they really just didn't care. I'm not sure what is worse. Horrifying.

6. One of the mothers said she was told her son would be put up for adoption.

This is literally what the Argentinian junta did. They 'disappeared' parents (usually killed them, which we hope wouldn't happen here), then installed the children into families who wanted to adopt. It was horribly twisted. And Trump and apparently his ICE sadists think we should do that here.

Highly skeptical that it’s accurate or, at least, complete.

Orange Clown administration credibility is shot.

Rotten nazi wannabe bastards.

Didn't I hear last week that they were counting separated children as unaccompanied children?

The govt thinks we are dumber than dirt and not onto their BS. They are dragging this out for several reasons. One is that they do not know where all the kids are because they never cared or wanted to reunite them and still don't. Tney will drag their feet and defy judges' orders and deadlines as much as they can hoping to deter other immigrants from taking the trip. The GOP is more similar to the Nazi Party than anyone realizes.

I hate these heartless scoundrels in their inability to administrate the affairs of this ship of state. Truly. All against this trump circus are now part of the anti-fa movement to one degree or another.

In my weary state, I see an analogy to a Stephen King novel about a very evil owner of a small antique shop set in a small town in New England. 'Needful Things'. Evil circus clowns in another novel that disturbingly fits also our current political situation. Anyway, the Max von Sydow character reminds me of trump. The clown(s) the people running his departments and the WH.

von Sydow comes to town promising, to the deplorable amerikan racist and many other gullible non-racist citizens, the moon and the sun and end up causing pure chaos and terror for thousands of innocents. And rabid disgust in me and bringing my HATE for injustice and inequality to the surface in a very open and uncivilly consistent manner.

I am sorry if this is a wrong approach, by mentioning Stephen King as a source for me to make sense of the evil, horror and extreme tragedy perpetrated by this administration in the last 16+months but his stories are, I feel, a take on fascism.

This evil shop owner of a potus and administration clowns running this country, truly have me scared.

May all the children snatched by ICE and the Border Patrol find their families. This truly has me angry and sad.

Anger and sadness of the type when I first viewed the photo of the damage done to Emmitt Till before his murder for, allegedly, whistling at a woman of the so-called 'superior' race. He didn't, it turned out to be a lie/justification to kill a n****r..

Those who turn against the GOP aka NPA and POC hopefully will vote in November. I'm pushing for that defeat of voter apathy in Democrats. Attend the meeting of local Democrats. Talk, in public openly, if one can without physical altercation with a brownshirt of trumps, about this 21st century nazi party. Talk about GOTV. I am and at 70 I hope deplorables attack me in any manner.

Listen to public discourse. The gullible, as mentioned above, can be turned, I think.
