    Congressmember Bass Retweeted CNN Breaking News

    Last week, I spoke to a grandmother (in a cage) who the government had deemed "ineligible" to stay with her grandchild because she was not his mother. The boy was shipped off to foster care and in 6 months, can be put up for adoption in Texas. That’s what “ineligible” means.https://twitter.com/cnnbrk/status/1022612063829585922 …

    The government says it reunited 1,442 families under a court order, but more than 700 were declared ineligible and their children remain in custody https://cnn.it/2AdRiJL  pic.twitter.com/hihjp2MKBy

        My grandmother raised me. I can't imagine such a horrible thing happening to the grandmother and child.

        Mary, I wanted to vomit when I read that. The panic and anguish of being separated from each other, the terror. It's utterly unbearable. These people are truly evil.

        I'm pretty certain that putting the girls & young children up for adoption was the plan from the beginning. That's why they were separated from the older boys. What's the fee for adoption times the little ones? And "Mexico" pays 4 the wall w/their kids.

        WTH "ineligible". This is beyond disturbing. It is evil, barbaric and sick. Children need their parents. #ChildrenRnotTools4Adults2use

        Okay. I wanted to clarify my other remark. I checked with Snopes about the Betsy Deovs connection with a Child Adoption Agency. She does not own it or profit from it, but does donate to it. https://www.snopes.com/news/2018/06/26/bethany-christian-services-family-separation-betsy-devos/ …

        That's kidnapping and trafficking children, that's what that is. Everyone who adopts such a child has to know they're adopting stolen children, kidnap victims. What kind of monsters don't think a grandmother is family!!?
