So now we are at the children’s movie sadistic villain stage of this story:

Trump et al used detained children in cages to lure people into trying to sponsor them and get them out of captivity. Then the mass arrests started.

I have no fucking words, lizards. I honestly could see this kind of shit going in 1938 Munich.

The Trump gov’t put out a call, asking legal immigrants to sponsor some of the 1,000’s of kids in cages. Desperate to help, 170 kind ppl stepped up, hoping to finally free the kid from captivity.Turns out, it was a sting operation. Then came the arrests.https://t.co/UCGPs0duad pic.twitter.com/kdCl3LRBlP

The United States is using unaccompanied minors in federal custody as bait. Unspeakable. Who will come forward to help them now? https://t.co/znx9wcYbm5
