Border Patrol detains a nine-year-old girl, a US citizen with a US passport, for 32 hours. Refuses to say why. nbcsandiego.com/news/local/You…
Oh, and they forced her 14-year-old brother to sign false documents by threatening to charge him with sex trafficking.
It took the intervention of the Mexican government to get this nine-year-old American girl released. The Mexican government.
The kid was detained before dawn on Monday, and the story broke while she was still in detention on Tuesday. CBP promised at the time that they'd release more info when they had it. It's Friday. Nothing.
And the CBP's handwaving excuse, that the kid gave them "inconsistent information," is meaningless. It's the CBP equivalent of NYPD's old "furtive movements" justification for everything from stop-and-frisk to shooting you dead.

I really need to figure out how I'm going to archive and preserve the GIF battles I have with my 12-year-old.
AAAND this is making me back up my phone, and so I just did some poking around in old videos, and now I'm deceased.
Twenty-five seconds of the now-12-year-old singing Jamaica Farewell when we were out getting Chinese food when she was two and a half...

I have never deleted a voicemail that either of my children have ever sent me.
On this subject, Apple really should make it easier to save and name old voicemails and other voice memos.
Relatedly: If you have small children, make a point of making audio recordings of you hanging out with them ALL THE TIME. I have some, but you never get around to doing it as often as you mean to.

Since folks still seem confused: There's nothing in the tweet below that suggests that I didn't understand that Podhoretz was joking when he called for the murder of thousands of people because a college hired two journalists. Yes. He was joking. Yes. I got that.
Also, Podhoretz himself has apologized for the tweet. So either the tweet was bad and worthy of an apology, or he's a craven little weasel who apologizes for stuff he shouldn't apologize for. Either way, seems to me you're quarrel is with him, not me, at this point.
And if you're somehow still mad I didn't make it clearer that he was joking, please share your theory of my tweet. Is it that I was trying to trick people into thinking that the editor of Commentary had written a sincere exhortation to nuclear mass murder? On Twitter? Really?

Up until three weeks ago I was a #border/ #immigration reporter working in #ElPaso. Let me tell you why President Trump’s visit to the #Borderland is so problematic. Follow this thread for more.
Honestly, @DrToddACurry put it best. #ElPaso has been the President’s “petri dish” for #immigration policies. Let’s take a look shall we?
Starting Sept.2017 @LasAmericasIAC starts reporting parent/children separation, despite legal documents showing relation. There was little I, as a journalist, could do when both parent & child were out of reach for interview & @ICEgov wasn’t talking.

Hate crime hoaxes didn't start with Trump.

@BreitbartNews counted 100 before early 2016: breitbart.com/social-justice…
#HoaxesAreHateCrimes

By Dec 2016 we'd seen a proliferation: breitbart.com/politics/2016/…

We'd seen a special surge of hijab-related hoaxes.
Ann Coulter correctly cites SPLC.
I suspect CAIR and MSA too. Seems like they're projecting a uniquely Muslim form of harassment on Americans who wouldn't think to do it. breitbart.com/the-media/2017…

I am starting this thread so that everyone can see with their own eyes the massive amount human traffickers that have been taken down. MSM won't tell you and journalist like @Indira_L make it sound like @therealroseanne is a whacko conspiracy nutjob.
Nothing could be farther from the truth and Indira L knows it. She is just creating the question to deflect away from the real issue which is human/child trafficking.
