Only in Trumpistan is jailing children indefinitely deemed remotely admissible. How do these people manage to face the mirror and not wince at who they have become? https://t.co/g5Q2q1x1xF

“Violence against women, and domestic violence in particular, is a powerful and often overlooked factor in the migration crisis.” https://t.co/PQKqFm0Fb8 via @NYTimes

Turning the clock back to 1924, the year of the racist Immigration Act. Each time you think this can't get any worse, just count to 30 and that is exactly what it will do. https://t.co/iN6OqPawjk

For an otherwise stunningly incompetent administration, the Trump gangsters (You have a better word?) are remarkably sharp when it comes to persecuting #immigrants and denying them due process. https://t.co/43wEiE2Mla

"Get real: The right’s attempt to downplay the specifically ideological context of the El Paso massacre is a transparently self-serving effort to absolve the president of moral responsibility...The president is guilty...of a form of incitement." https://t.co/jRTtzgRN5u

“'How do you stop these people?' he [Trump] said of immigrants at a May rally in Florida. 'Shoot them!' someone in the audience replied.Trump and his supporters laughed."

“The mouth that demeans may not always be attached to the hand that destroys, but they are most assuredly connected in spirit and in spite.” https://t.co/iP9De1RpL9

“Under President Trump, a wildly invigorated ICE has become an American nightmare, nothing less than the main thrust of an attempt to institutionalize racism against a scapegoated minority.” https://t.co/35rDdHdktz

RT. Important in the event you know families who might be threatened.

Individual ICE and other enforcement agents should take a hard look at themselves and historical precedent before carrying out what their bosses are asking of them. The analogies are among the ugliest episodes in human history, but if the shoe fits... https://t.co/GtFmC1updu

“A majority of detained migrants are being held in camps run by corporations with close ties to the Republican Party.” https://t.co/X7xJemYMFq

Trump trying to sweep up his ostentatious mess under a carpet, but the stench of his cruelty will never go away. https://t.co/pST0fv7IYk

Trump insists on inviting comparisons to you-know-who. https://t.co/uIt5nI1rzy

By law, immigration detention has no correctional function and detainees are not prisoners, but the government, uncorrected by the courts, has been applying punitive standards of incarceration, unconstitutionally abusive ones at that. https://t.co/VRZkx93VpF

Trump “inclines toward the dramatic, visual and simplistic — a modern version of Persian King Xerxes lashing the sea for damaging his bridge — rather than grasp the difficult, complicated and imperfect policy tools that...mitigate them.” https://t.co/I6vxUWnHdP

“They are coming here because we were there.” https://t.co/2bILqfzBVT

“America’s immigration system takes the myth of due process and turns it on its head.” https://t.co/pu1rGQdIun

“Nationalism is an abdication of liberalism. It is also the opposite of patriotism. To confuse nationalism with patriotism is to mistake contempt for love and fear for valor.” https://t.co/3nrVAofBfc

“As Home Secretary, she pursued rigidly anti-immigration policies, helping to stoke national divisions that were given their most crude and most consequent expression in the Brexit vote.” https://t.co/EYhAAa1EPv

"The U.S. is unlikely to see any population decline over at least the next couple of decades because of immigration. Sustaining the population is crucial for maintaining strong economic growth " https://t.co/6yIxH7xHOb
