That’s how trump’s pedo crowd gets their victims now that trump’s good friend jeff epstein is dead. /s
No /s needed. I’m sorry to say that there is a lot of credible evidence that this is reality in ICE and Border Patrol detention centers, especially with unaccompanied minors. It’s been going on for years and only got worse under ICE.
This is one of the main reasons Dem lawmakers concerned about the welfare of detained immigrants keep trying to get into the detention centers themselves, to see the housing arrangements personally as a part of their congressional oversight, which they have every legal right to do. And I suspect it’s probably the primary reason why they are never actually allowed in, contrary to federal law and legislators’ rights under the Constitution.
Not only have lawmakers at every level not been allowed in, but at Delaney Hall in New Jersey, Senator Andy Kim has been pepper sprayed by federal agents, and in a separate incident the Newark mayor was arrested just for requesting to enter the facility, and Newark’s congressional Rep. LaMonica McIver was charged with a crime just for being there.
A spokesperson from the Department of Homeland Security said ICE took the child into custody “out of an abundance of caution and to ensure the child’s safety" after his uncle could not establish legal guardianship. DHS denied any wrongdoing and said agents designated the 8-year-old as an unaccompanied minor and placed him in the care of the Office of Refugee Resettlement under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act, a 2008 law meant to provide protections for unaccompanied immigrant children
…
Guerline Jozef, the executive director of the nonprofit Haitian Bridge Alliance, said ICE did not give the father an opportunity to transfer guardianship before deporting him “without taking into account the wellbeing of the children left behind.”
They deported the father, and didn’t give a chance to transfer custody to the uncle, and then despite that the uncle was taking care of the boy, used that as an excuse to deport him - citing, of all things, laws meant to protect refugees and victims.
It amazes me how utterly and fully they use the very laws established to protect people to harm them. Stephen Miller is one of the most evil people living, and in 2026, that is saying something.
Hopefully someone can make him the evil dead soon.
Man, I gotta tell you. I am so thankful for these folks putting their lives on the line to save us each and every day. My entire family was killed by an 8 year old Haitian boy, and since then I’ve been trying to raise awareness of how dangerous 8 year old Haitian boys can be. Finally it seems as though someone is taking the steps to cull this threat and keep the real Americans safe. Even just one 8 year old Haitian boy off the streets will help me sleep better tonight.
The cruelty is the point.
The midterms dont mean a lot while this still happens. America still has a lot to fight back against and a lot to prove for the rest of the world.
It’s OK because he’s black … if this had been done to a European kid with fairer skin, regardless of their immigration status, either this wouldn’t have happened or there would been an uproar and the kid released.
So the blacker you are, more likely stuff like this will happen to you in the US.
Many people still like to believe that there is less racism in the US and in Canada (where I’m from) … but it’s still alive and well.
Soulless shit
