CNN anchor Carol Costello on Wednesday pressed an Arizona sheriff after he published the bus route of refugee children, sparking protests from anti-immigrant demonstrators.

On Tuesday, angry protesters had used trucks to block a road near Oracle in response Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu’s press release revealing that 40 refugees had been invited to stay at a ranch for boys.

Although the bus filled with refugees never came, Republican congressional candidate Adam Kwasman attended the protest, and mistakenly accused a YMCA bus of being an “abrogation of the rule of law.”

Costello spoke to Babeu on Wednesday, and asked him what was so dangerous about the refugee children that he felt the need to publish their bus route.

“Well, that’s the question that I’ve raised,” Babeu explained. “Not one answer from anyone in Homeland Security in response to this when we know, in fact, they’re coming.”

...on the ages of the "illegal YMCA campers"?

The reason I ask, depending on the ages of these lawbreaking kids that are looking forward to some fresh air, this could have been a traumatic experience for them. Imagine being a child, some possibly going to camp for the first time, when your bus is surrounded by a bunch of old white people waving signs telling you how much they hate you and that you should "go home".

Hell hath no fury like the parent of a frightened, traumatized child. I'd be freakin' beyond furious.
