Kica Matos:
Well, let’s remember that Stephen Miller is the architect of the family separation plan under the first Trump administration.
But it’s galling to us, and now they’re wrapping their defense of what is indefensible by saying they were concerned about these kids and they want to ensure that they’re reunited with their families.
But what the government was in essence doing was yanking away the legal protections that these vulnerable kids have. It should shock the conscience of all Americans that our government in the dead of night was targeting vulnerable children and trying to strip them of the protections that they have.
And the final thing that I would say is, this really exposes the hypocrisy of our government right now, because, for the longest time, they were saying, we’re going after the most outrageous criminal immigrants, and that’s who we’re targeting for deportation, when, in fact, this weekend shows us that they know no bounds.
And their intention was to yank away their rights and send them to a country where they feared for their lives.
