We’ve all seen this photo of the two-year old baby from the Honduras who, along with her mom, was detained on June 12 by the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol after they crossed the border. What you haven’t seen (probably) is the second photo, showing mom removing the shoelaces from the baby’s shoes, as required the Border Patrol agents. Treating the baby like an adult prisoner.
Then this four-year old boy from the Honduras, who was detained along with his dad after they crossed the border. If you look carefully, you’ll see a badge has been placed on his chest and his left shoulder, with his assigned number, #47. Remind you of something? I want to believe the number is to allow the US to reunite the boy and his dad, but I don’t think so.
Some more. I have the story behind each of them, but each photo is strong enough.
Then this. Can’t we afford real blankets for these kids? I’m sure the military bases in the area have acres and acres of spare blankets we can use to keep the kids warm, instead of wrapping them in mylar.
And these are cages, not chain-link fence partitions as claimed by the trump people. Cages. The photo is real. It’s a screen grab from a video produced and released by the US Customs and Border Control.
