    Important thread. As I mentioned the other day, most of the "lost" kids are in hands of families that have gone off the grid.https://twitter.com/jduffyrice/status/1000927903759110144 …

    Now that we’re all on twitter because of this game, I am making a public service announcement: PLEASE STOP SHARING THAT STORY ABOUT 1500 KIDS MISSING. The outrage I’ve seen is a result of a total misinterpretation and could SERIOUSLY threaten the children you want to save.

        If they’re off the grid, how would we know?

        She did say that most are not being trafficked. Implying that some are.

        It would be really useful for someone to report on whether ORR actually does/has coordinate(d) with ICE/CBP on these matters and whether immigration activists think they should continue to be involved; I have seen a bunch of claims but nothing really well-reported on any side

        Doktor Zoom Retweeted josie duffy rice

        Please Rice's full thread: She explains why conflating the two situations is bad for ALL the kids. Calling for ICE and ORR to work more closely together would lead to more deportations. She wants to STOP Trump, not make excuses for him.https://twitter.com/jduffyrice/status/1000927903759110144 …

        It's the 'most' part that scares me, not that they are in the hands of relatives (hopefully). There shouldn't BE any 'most.'

        The fact that you can have a child entrusted to you and go off the grid is the problem.

        We understand that. What we are objecting to is a policy of taking children from their parents when they present themselves as asylum seekers, particularly when it is acknowledged that the purpose of the policy is to deter families from seeking asylum in the first place
