    NEW ACLU says the Trump admin separated far more "tender age" kids than it disclosed. We know ~100 kids < age 5 were separated last year. Now we know 207 more kids < 5 were also separated, not counting 101 five-year-olds. No comment yet from DOJ.
    ACLU says 1,500 more migrant children were taken from parents by the Trump administration

    Just spoke with Oaxaca state police and a top human rights official in Mexico. Both —Abel García &Edgar Corza Sosa—said the caravan is NOT filled with dangerous people as @realdonaldtrump said. But they are concerned, because ipeople are weak, exhausted & w/o buses, taking risks

    If you traipse your kid 2,000 miles in dangerous conditions you're not only a criminal, you're a shitty parent.

    INBOX: We have numbers in family separation policy: 2,551 kids are aged 5 to 17 103 are aged 4 and under That means the Trump administration separated more than 2,650 kids from their parents during zero-tolerance and before. Not everyone will be reunited.
