Thread, with useful reference links, from @TexasTribune about Trump’s campaign against non-white immigration in action.
I went on a bit of a Twitter rant about a year ago, prompted by the family separation phase of Tump’s campaign. I wouldn’t now unsay anything I said then. Thanks to @danfarina for reminding me.
As I was saying a week or so ago, the passage of time will bring forth many more stories about abuse and neglect of migrants and asylum seekers by US government agencies than we’ve heard so far. They are starting. Via @kylegriffin1
ICYMI: It’s not just kids. Report on another aspect of Trump’s White America immigration policy by @danielptucker
Let’s continue this, since we seem to be headed for another non-white immigration smashup. @HoustonChron reporter @lomikriel has stories of migrants, asylum seekers and their children caught in the Trump administration’s hostile bureaucracy. Thread.
How did that Justice Department lawyer end up before the 9th Circuit insisting that jailing kids and storing them as if they were slabs of concrete was OK? @Popehat explains the legal action started all the way back in the Reagan administration.
Add to the agency culture issues these drivers of migration spotlighted by @ThePlumLineGS in this valuable thread. Climate change and societal turmoil in Central America will force more people north. Trumpers wish this all away; the rest of us cannot.
