Children of those arrested in Wednesday’s #ICE raids
near Forest, MS. are being put up in a local gym tonight
by neighbors/strangers. Many are left scared & crying
after coming home from school & being locked out
without their parents. Donated food & drinks are being provided.






AMERICANS NEED TO SEE THIS ASAP

The cruelty is simply too much.

On Edit: This sticks with me and I can't shake it. What kind of heartless beast could do this to children? Where does ICE recruit? What is the moral difference between an ICE agent and an SS thug?

This is being done in the name of We the People - the stink is on all of us and will not wash away.

I thought neglect of a minor was a felony. Abandoning those kids is neglect.

Maybe we should flood the abuse hotline?

But I know at my job if I leave a child or someone who legally cannot function on their own I can-and will-be charged with neglect. ICE knew there were minors and they did nothing to assure that they were cared for. At the very least a call to DFS would have brought a caseworker.

I'd think the state could charge ICE with neglect and by the letter of the law they would be correct.

Heartbreaking and humiliating. That my country would do this. Would sanction this. And worse, that anybody really voted for this. That this is something that the haters somehow find desirable.

It's beyond my ability to understand.

My soul is ripped apart by the loss of decency in this world.
Children do NOT deserve this kind of treatment.
EVER.

My despair is becoming depression. This kind of hurt and the tears watching that video are taking years off my life, but I also fear it is sucking the life out of America as well...

WATCH - If you want to help donate to the shelters and
community leaders in Forest, Mississippi for the kids you
can do so by calling the owner of the gym putting the kids
up to give food and supplies they need. Jordan Barnes is
the man to call at 601-940-1690.






GOOD MAN

Word’s getting out - that US attorney has tons of new replies showing him these children

It really isn't necessary to order these raids. The pictures of kids being separated from their parents are horrific. And Trump is totally responsible for these raids.
