I hope that during Noem's impeachment hearing, someone asks her what national security interest was served by CBP taking away Liam's blue bunny-hat while this 5-yr-old boy was held in detention.
Make her explain it. On the record. Televised.
the saying, "There are 2 types of people!..." Generally I don’t buy into that view, but maybe it applies here.
Some people listen to knowledgeable folks like Jenn Budd, Todd Miller, Garrett Graff...

whoa. the testimony below is jaw dropping. Schumer, tell us again how this agency can be “reined in” or “reformed.”

this is horrific. and honestly, I very much doubt their "quarantine" practice is effective. This is the same facility where lawyers have documented worms in the food and putrid-smelling water as the only option for parents to mix baby formula for their infants.
shut it down.
