This is Marklen. He is 13yo and has been stuck inside a facility for kids in HHS custody for almost 3 months. Deemed one of the nearly 700 kids as ‘ineligible’ 4 reunification, he asks his family on the phone “when can I leave?” - his story: nbcnews.to/2n09Vrm
This is Marklen’s Mom, Rafaela. In her native Mayan language from her home in Guatemala, she begs the U.S. gov to release her son who has been held in HHS custody for almost 3 months. @NBCLatino
Marklen’s Mom is sick and didn’t have enough $ to go with him to the U.S. but her older son Tomas lives in Brooklyn and she hoped Marklen could stay with him. But the gov. says he is ‘ineligible’ for family reunification and won’t release him to Tomas.
Tomas, Marklen’s brother, fighting back tears...says he is too scared to go to ICE offices in NYC & show paperwork proving Marklen is his brother b/c he has been deported once before and thinks they’ll deport him again, says Marklen asks him over the phone when he can see him

Families are still separated. This is Raquel. Her two sons are among the 565 kids STILL separated from their families. Deadlines have come and gone for the #Trump Admin. + kids remain in gov. custody. Raquel is afraid her family will be forgotten. @NBCLatino @NBCNightlyNews
This is Raquel’s 9yo son - being held at a gov. facility in Houston. He has autism and doesn’t understand why he can’t go home with his Mom.
Raquel’s eldest son, 13yo, is being held in a separate facility in San Antonio. She tried to get to both facilities as often as she can to visit her sons.

Today is the deadline to reunify families. This is a portion of a mother’s credible fear interview @ Port Isabel detention center - she can barely speak she is so distraught about being separated from her daughter - read our full report @NBCNews #FamiliesBelongTogether
She tells Judge Robert Powell she fears returning to her country of Honduras. According to @SyracuseU @TRACReports Judge Powell denies nearly 80 percent of asylum requests - our full report nbcnews.to/2A926ZW @NBCNews
The judge says she will be removed from the U.S. and should speak to her deportation officer about “the possibility of reuniting with her daughter” - both devastating and confusing moments over 400 parents have faced ahead of being deported w/our their children @NBCLatino

Children walking out of a BCFS HHS center in Harlingen, Texas. There are dorms and a gymnasium where the children are coming in and out of
Mom, Anita, arrives with her attorney, Jodi Goodwin, to see if she she can be reunited with his 6yo son, Jenri. Anita was just released from detention last night
Anita and Jodi head inside the HHS facility to hopefully be reunited with her son. Anita says she won’t leave the location until she gets her son back - even if she has to sleep outside the fence.

One of my fav things to do when I meet a new person is ask them if they know about the Dionne quintuplets and if they don’t, push them into a chair to deliver an hourlong lecture about how the Canadian govt stole five babies in 1934 and made them into a theme park.
Annette and Cecile are still alive! This is within recent memory!
And then, bc everything is the worst, when the family finally got them back as teenagers, their fuckin Dad molested them, so there’s no heartwarming Little Man Tate narrative either.

HHS IS EXECUTING ON ITS MISSION: The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) knows the identity and location of every minor in the care of grantees funded through the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR).

Kids separated at border from parents is another example of MSM spin of facts to fit a negative narrative! 10K of the 12K are unaccompanied. The other 2K several cannot price relationship to children. Trump has buckled down on HUMAN TRAFFICKING (over 1600 arrests) most at border
The MSM and Dems scream about kids being kept from parents in facilities with beds, food, water, & activities. They do not discuss the parents depriving them of those things as they crossed Mexico. There is also no talk of the near 22K kids sold into slavery and sex slavery yrly
Where is the recognition that separating these kids and verifying their escorts are valid family members is actually saving lives and preventing abuse and crimes against children? Where is the recognition of child endangerment by parents who subjected their kids to this? Crickets

Most of the kids at the #Homestead facility came here as unaccompanied minors and are awaiting placement with sponsors. If you REALLY care, you should stop by the @ccadom. They are actively looking for foster homes for many of these kids and could probably use the publicity.
@SenBillNelson Here's more info for your concerned constituents about the Arch Diocese of Miami's program to find foster homes for the immigrant kids in #HHS custody like the kids in #Homestead.

@SenBillNelson You could really make a positive impression. Why don't you be the first today to publicly apply to foster one of the immigrant kids in #Homestead?

Benefits of having three kids #1:
Absolutely noone (family & others) gives unprompted parenting advice anymore (probably because they gave up).
Benefits of having three kids #2:
Being able to say (in theory) things like: “well, *some* of my kids play Golf”
Benefits of having three kids #3:
Being able to switch from man to zone defense at home.

"One of Manafort’s biggest clients was the dubious pro-Russian Ukrainian billionaire Dmytro Firtash. By his own admission, Firtash maintains strong ties with a recurrent figure on this scene, the reputed Ukrainian/Russian mob boss Semion Mogilevich." the-american-interest.com/2016/12/19/the…
"Firtash is being prosecuted for what federal prosecutors in Chicago say was his role in bribing Indian officials in order to get a lucrative mining deal to sell titanium to Boeing."
"And Dan Webb, who also signed the Amicus brief, is representing Mogilevich lieutenant Dmitry Firtash"
