I don't want this story to get buried. And we have an update.
This is a 4 1/2 minute interview with the attorney representing the 2 year old child who is a citizen.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTwvOjs46SoA couple quick things I picked up. The mother was asked to write a letter saying the child would go with her. The mother was not given the opportunity to talk to the child's father to jointly make a decision about the child - whether to stay with the mother or the father. The mother is currently pregnant with some complications to her pregnancy. So her health is at risk here. ICE retained the child's passport, so the child does not have access to it to return to the US.
I guess this is all consistent with the basic premise of the Trump presidency and much of his MAGA supporters. Cruelty IS the whole point.
