    My God. They are literally shipping the kids detained at the border all over the country. They are arriving via plane and being placed in random foster care centers and group homes in states as far as New York and Michigan. They are doing this JUST TO CREATE A CATASTROPHE

        They want a crisis to switch focus. They know MOST Americans are not cool with this OR a lying President. So naturally they’re starting fires everywhere so we won’t know where to focus or what to fight. #KeepFamliesTogether #WhereAreTheChildren #StopSeparatingFamilies

        There's a long history of brown kids being taken from their families for white adoptive parents and 'this is temporary/oh now they've lived with THIS family SO LONG it would be CRUEL to give them back' is one of many strategies. White Savior APs gonna get all the kids they want.

        In this manufactured crisis of unprotected kids, child safety from predators and child abusers comes to the forefront. Who are the people watching these kids & babies?https://twitter.com/TexasTribune/status/1009435522215956482 …

        Michigan resident here. Do you know exactly where they are being placed here? Feel like we could mobilize some protests.

        I've heard very positive things about one of the receiving agencies in MI from clinical professionals with 1st hand experience with them, but that doesn't change the fact that this is horrific and shouldn't be happening in the first place.

        I should have worded things differently because I don’t want to protest the people helping the children, just organize against the fact that they have to go to these refugee centers in the first place 😕

        Yeah, that's the thing. I'm glad at least some of the receiving organizations are reputable, and I don't want to make their jobs more difficult (or divert the kids into worse situations).
