My younger child had her first round of asthma at 8 months old. That's when I learned that asthmatics breathe out twice the water vapor that others do. My daughter dehydrated overnight and woke up the next morning with a fever. After drinking two bottles of juice, she went back to sleep and woke up with the fever gone.

For this little girl to be as dehydrated as she was, she had to have been in obvious physical distress and running a very high fever, which is why she went into seizure. Not one damn ICE agent had a modicum of human decency to give aid to a child. Instead, they took her away from her parents and did nothing while she slowly died alone and afraid.

This is what happens in concentration camps. Every ICE agent involved should be brought up on charges. They have no excuse, especially when lawyers across the country have stood up and offered pro-bono services to defend any ICE agent who refuses orders.

Yes!

By God when you take a person into custody, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE for their welfare, safety, food, water, health, etc!!!

The Nazis did the same things to Russian prisoners of war and were HANGED for war crimes!!!

that once we rid ourselves of the criminals in this administration, We are going to find along our southern border mass graves of children. I hope I am wrong, because if we do, we will sound like the Germans after WWII saying we didn't realize this was going on. And the world will not believe us, like we did not believe the Germans.

“Nothing is so unworthy of a civilized nation as allowing itself to be governed without opposition by an irresponsible clique that has yielded to base instinct. It is certain that today every honest German
(American) is ashamed of his government. Who among us has any conception of the dimensions of shame that will befall us and our children when one day the veil has fallen from our eyes and the most horrible of crimes - crimes that infinitely outdistance every human measure - reach the light of day?”

“We will not be silent. We are your bad conscience. The White Rose will not leave you in peace!”

When you have barbaric policies and no accountability horrible things will happen. But the key ingredient is dehumanization. When a leader dehumanizes a group like Trump has, history hasn’t shown atrocities will happen.

Unfortunately it is a near certainty there are mass graves somewhere near the border right now that US Governement employees filled with immigrants.

The republicans, and Trump especially, have blood on their hands. They are responsible for this.

What makes me sick is that they don't even care about the death of this poor child or her grieving family. She is nothing to them.

God, I hate them so much!

I'm with the person down thread who said we need to call for Nielsen's resignation, loudly! She needs to be held accountable. How despicable a person do you have to be to say what she said?

Hillary was right to call them deplorable, because they are. Every last one of them.
