https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2026/may/08/trump-administration-parents-arrestedmonth-old daughter, LT was running out of options.
Her baby, who was allergic to formula and had other food sensitivities, had been vomiting constantly and needed breastmilk. But the government refused to release LT an asylum seeker from Haiti on bond. So, the familys pediatrician petitioned the government to allow her to pump and mail her breastmilk from the Dilley detention center in Texas to her baby in Florida. That request was denied.
Desperate, LT asked whether her child could be brought into the detention center to be with her. The government denied that, too, she said, on the grounds that the child, who is a US citizen, couldnt be kept at an immigration detention center.
Im terrified of losing my baby, she said.

The magnitude of ICE's evil can only be measured in astronomical terms. I want those bastards to spend the rest of their rotten lives in one of their own detention facilities, and to suffer the same mistreatment they so gleefully meted out to others.
Take THIS to the bank: They will come after anyone and everyone that ever criticized them. I suggest having a go-bag packed for just that inevitable eventuality.

article. This is happening on US soil, and nothing is being done. We are like Germany when they killing and gassing the Jewish population to "enforce" their "master race". WTF!!!!!!!!!
Our corporate media they will not say 1 thing about this. Thanks to the Guardian and other independent media outlets who will say something.
Stephen Miller is the orchestrator of this. He should be arrested.
