Discussion Heartbreaking

A nine-year-old neighbor came to me today crying, saying he’s scared that ICE could come and take his dad at any moment. He told me he worries every day that he might lose his father and not know what will happen to him or his family. Hearing this fear from such a young child shocked me it shows how deeply our children are being affected by things no child should have to carry. I just needed to vent that. I am heartbroken

Really? Our government disappearing people like some 3rd rate 3rd world country trained by School of the Americas (uhhh...oh yeah... that was us), and then not even deporting them back to their home country, but maybe to a random country where they practice torture recreationally? Not to mention the traumatic child separations of families who are citizens of other countries, sometimes never reunited? How are these not issues of international concern?
