      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.

          They'd basically need to steal their kids back and flee to Canada...

          Of course they're considering using force! I would! Take somebody's child and you're asking for violence. These foster parents better think twice. It may not be their fault but it will be their problem.

          Who wouldn’t kick down doors to go get their child? USA has history of snatching children from parents.

          The Underground Railroad was a force for good. We need a different analogy.

          They fucken should and call the media to keep their case on spotlight. This is a scandal. I d argue necessary if the four offers no alternative, mechanism to return that child to relatives.

          Breaking them out seems reasonable at this point. If I had a kid who had been kidnapped by these monsters, I’d be thinking of doing this as well.

          Watch the crime rate go up in America because of this stupid move of separating children from their families! You don’t think ppl & children are going to be angry? They’ll remember this time in history & retaliate when the time is right. #Trump is just making things worse!

          " feel like he was kidnapped"? These children are political prisoners - they were kidnapped and I suspect some may have died as the media is not being allowed to see the girls or toddlers. There needs to be loud and clear international condemnation
