On mobile so sorry if the above links don’t work. Will have a proper look later.
Not to mention that those very pictures are still making their rounds all over social media being posted and reposted on Facebook as recently as this morning by a few of my FB friends.
Links are working fine on my mobile.

I sure that not every kid needs to be separated for the parent/adult that they illegally crossed the border with. That's just stupid blind application of some bureaucratic rule. But I'm also sure that some of the kids do need to be separated and there would be outrage expressed if they were not and then came to harm.
Same with the Portland/ICE thing. Not all need to be detained/deported, but some do.
The political polarization in this country is disturbing.
I don’t think anyone is arguing that there aren’t ever circumstances where it is in the best immediate interest of the child to be separated from the adults they came with. It’s the fact that Trump and Co. were separating them in ALL cases as a form of cruel punishment (and hopeful deterrent) for crossing the border. Intentionally, and unnecessarily causing emotional and psychological trauma to young children as a means to a political end amounts to child abuse, IMO.

I believe it was tweeted and then mass retweeted, but immediately taken down once it was fact checked.
Like the thing about bussing in undocumented immigrants to vote for Hillary. Except with this, it's just an unnecessary fake depiction of something that happened in reality.

Can't wait to see the mental gymnastics on this one.
Oh yeah? Well, what about this picture that was floating around on social media of kids in cages at one of Trump's concentration camps...
Oops. My bad. This picture was from 2014 in one of obama's concentration camps.

Here's an idea whiny nazi. Go write to your hero David Irvine, he'll prove the horror of family seperations as fake as Auschwitz.
