**In Brief:**
* Brookings, which is a highly reputable nonpartisan think tank, conducted a statistical analysis that looked at the demographic characteristics of the roughly 60,000 people currently in detention, and the 400,000 people who have been put into Ice detention from an interior arrest since the start of Trump’s second term.
* The report estimates that out of the more than 145,000 children believed to be affected, more than 22,000 experienced the detention of all their co-resident parents. More than 53,000 citizen children with a detained parent were estimated to be under the age of six.
* What we do know, of course, is that many of these children are going to be immensely traumatized. Kelly Kribs, an attorney at the Young Center, told the Guardian that the separation crisis unfolding now is even more insidious than the family separation policy from Trump 1.0. “It’s leading to all the same forms of trauma that we saw unfold back in 2018, but the speed and the scaleof the separations now is at a level we’ve never seen before.”
Stephen Miller is evil, pure evil. And astonishingly his wife is evil too, saw some of her interviews and now can’t decide who is more evil..these people simply dont have any empathy for people.
Disgusting, immoral and evil.
The cruelty is the point
“Sir, we have subjected *children* to unspeakable cruelty!”
Miller: “Good. Good good good. Did we lash them?”
“What?!”
Miller: “Did we strip the rags from their filthy little bodies and let the belt rain over their backs and buttocks?”
“No! Sir–”
Miller: “Go and do that, you waste of space. Don’t come back until the job’s done. Properly done. And… bring photo evidence.”
Satan: That’s a little over the top, even for me. I’m going to have to create a whole new lower level when these guys show up. This job is starting to suck.
ngl 145,000 is just an absolutely staggering number to try and wrap your head around tbh. the fact that the cruelty and trauma was literally the entire point of the policy makes it so much worse dude. those kids are going to carry that damage for the rest of their lives.
Jesus that’s a lot of kids to deliver to Trump.
Miller needs to be in a supermax solitary for the rest off his life
One day these American children will grow up and they won’t forget about this
Need a black and white profile picture of Miller with the Michael Jordan ‘Fuck them kids’ quote
Its all intentional cruelty
Child trafficking from the nation ran by a pedophile.
Pedophile in Chief
They did this crap his first time in office too, separating families. These people are evil.
I’ll never forgive the voters who sat out this election for letting this happen twice now in one decade.
The cruelty is what they want.
The absolute worst humans ever!
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in three score years on this planet, it’s that killing and torturing communities and leaving the children to rebuild their lives alone *never* comes back to bite the perpetrator in the ass.
When I discuss this with conservatives, they love to point out the Obama deported more people than Trump has (at least this was true of his first term). To which I say, “Yes, that’s true, but amazingly, neither Obama or Biden had to resort to illegal arrests, detentions, and deportations. Every person they deported went through due process, which Trump has all but ignored.”
I wonder how big Trump’s numbers would be if he had followed due process. I’m guessing they would be puny.
Just the title sounds disgusting.
You can connect republican elites to orphanage scams back to post-WW1.
We need to topple this Nazi administration.
Trauma is a key goal of the Fascist party. The more miserable and sick your population is the more you can scare them and steal money.
If you haven’t been following been following or don’t know Ben Palmer, the comedian who set up a fake ICE immigration report line and website where he interacts with people trying to report illegals, you need to see it. Its the both the most disturbing and hilarious thing at the same time I have ever seen.
A compilation…

Pedofiles. It’s what they do all the time.
Don’t forget the murders as well. People in custody, people in the streets.
This piece of human garbage deserves to spend the rest of his life in a supermax prison.
Attention! Attention!Stephen Miller is a Nazi cuck. that is all.
Keep it up guys. You idiots are only increasing your midterm losses by alienating everyone on the planet.
I’m down! Bring on the midterms!
Trump is probably taking a few of those kids to his bunker.
Stephen Miller would have been one of the Nazis convicted and executed at the Nuremberg trials
This happened during Trump’s first term as well.
> Joyce Vance: Lee, let me just jump in and ask you, is my recollection correct? Family separation was a feature, not a bug. In other words, ***the then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions made a point of saying, “This will deter people from coming to this country, to the United States, the knowledge that they will be separated from their children.”*** And it was viewed as a policy objective, not something unfortunate that happened. Is that correct?
>
> Lee Gelernt: Yeah, you’re absolutely correct. The whole purpose of this was to try and, in their mind, deter families from ever coming again or giving up on their asylum claims. What the Trump administration thought is, “If we make it so horrible and we take little babies and children away from their parents, people will stop coming here to seek refuge, to apply for asylum,” which is the word that’s used. When you’re fleeing danger and being persecuted, you get to apply for what’s called asylum.
>
> They thought, “We will deter people from coming.” There were two problems with that. One is that it wasn’t going to deter people. I think every expert and every prior administration, Democratic or Republican, knew that it wouldn’t deter people from coming. And one of the first things I would ask families is, “Would you have come anyway if you had known this was going to happen to your child?” And they just shrugged and said, “Well, what choice did I have? I couldn’t stay and let my child be killed or I be killed.”
>
> And so, it wasn’t going to work. But the second problem, of course, is even if it was going to work, there’s just some things we don’t do in the United States, and that’s the point Laura Bush made in an op-ed she wrote, with just saying, “We don’t do this to little babies in the United States.” And I think that’s why we saw both national and international outrage about what was happening. It was absolutely the point of the policy to make it so horrible that families would stop coming to seek refuge here.

Motherfuck ***everyone*** that voted for Trump or Republicans for the last decade. You’re all terrible fucking people and should feel shame.
Who are the parents of these kids? Are they legally or illegally here? I genuinely don’t know the right answer.
Last time I put this out there mods removed it without notifying me and without explanation. It’s a link to a video of a 2023 interview with Mike Davis, conservative political strategist and one time Trump pick for Attorney General. In the interview he gleefully states:
>“We’re gonna put kids in cages. It’s gonna be glorious.”
https://www.mediamatters.org/google/mike-davis-were-gonna-put-kids-cages-its-gonna-be-glorious
For clarification for the mods, it’s a quote. I’m not saying it. He said it and it’s shocking. These people are evil. It needs to be seen.
Miller should not be allowed to have a peaceful life after this. He is a monster and should be thrown into a dark cell.
This was a huge story in the first admin. So much so that Cons even started pointing to Obama as an excuse. Of course this time it’s crickets.
