[This time around, #Trump isn’t just separating & jailing #immigrants, he’s separating & jailing families who are long time residents.]

THE #IMMIGRANT FAMILIES JAILED IN #TEXAS

#Children have long been put in migrant #detention if they were apprehended at the #border. Today, lawyers have found, #families are being removed from stable lives in the #UnitedStates.

The Immigrant Families Jailed in Texas

Jack Herrera writes about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arresting people in the interior and sending them, with their young children, to detention centers.

In late March, Leecia Welch, a deputy #litigation director at #ChildrensRights, a #legal nonprofit that represents #children in government custody, visited a #family #jail in #Texas that the #Trump Admin had recently reopened. The immigrant children Welch met were #hungry, #SleepDeprived, & bored [lacking educational activity].

“All around them people are crying, fainting, & having panic attacks due to the stress,” Welch said. She’s interviewed hundreds of #kids who’ve been detained after crossing the #border. In #Texas, though, she had an unusual experience—some of the #children she met weren’t recent #immigrants. They had been in the country for years.

[aside: someone recently accused me of hypocrisy because I was against #Trump’s #FamilySeparation policy & also for so-called nontraditional #families, they said the fact that I am not against #divorce, exclusively man/woman marriage & children, made me a hypocrite. What I have to say to that:

[aside cont: if a #family wants to be together—whatever their makeup, that is great. If a committed non-cis-hetero couple devotes itself to family & kids—lucky #kids. If a family decides that what is best for all involved is to not be together, in my experience [particularly in domestic #abuse (physical or emotional) situations, or #loveless ones] that is wonderful too—it acknowledges an awareness of what is best for the #children. And if a person chooses to not procreate, that is their #CHOICE]

@Nonilex My response to people that want to be bossy like that is to repeat the original mission statement of the USA: 'Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness'. Who are those bossy people to tell people they can't pursue happiness? How dare they walk on the original founders of the USA. They should move somewhere else.
