    I am told that the Trump administration does not plan to return any of the children who've been separated from their families back to them. It's not just that they lack a plan to return them. They do not intend on returning them and will use their return as a bargaining chip.

        I just spoke with a family related to a child that has been sent away with a foster family. They literally told me they are considering forcefully taking their nephew from the foster family and that they feel like he has been kidnapped. It's the Underground Railroad of 2018.

        Many of the children who've been detained & sent away thousands of miles from their parents actually have relatives in the United States. Those relatives are being denied access and custody while their relatives are in group homes & centers w/ strangers This is an abomination.

        The immigration system before Trump was inhumane. We cannot simply return to the way it was before his family separation order. We need to end detention and abolish ICE.https://mobile.twitter.com/Jamie_Maz/status/1009535804685856770 …

        1/x Thread on immigration detention and family separation during the Obama years. Trump may be awful, but our treatment of immigrant families has been horrendous for years, Democrats & Republicans can't erase their guilt by pretending Trump is responsible for America's crimes. pic.twitter.com/aWqDPYDWr4

        Many have been sent to Michigan under the care of Bethany Christian Services. An adoption agency with ties to Betsy Devil. The fact that these children already have families is unimportant,

        "They do not intend on returning them and will use their return as a bargaining chip." Not only that, he will use them as a bargaining chip while saying the dems are trying to use them as a bargaining chip.

        Besides it being a horrific human rights violation, I'm confused about why he's saying send them all back, but spreading the kids around the foster care system after taking them from their families.

        @realDonaldTrump @IvankaTrump @FLOTUS @SecNielsen Free the children you are holding hostage. Return them to their parents. Human beings are not bargaining chips. You are committing crimes against humanity.
