        "I do not doubt that this fascist administration, which ordered the caging of children, has cultivated an environment of empathy in government, and everyone did everything they could to save a child who, if she had lived, would've been detained indefinitely." — NPR's Scott Simon

        Why, as a journalist, would you give this law enforcement agency the benefit of the doubt, in light of its recent actions?
