Is there ANYTHING those 4th Reich scumwhores do that isn't criminal and/or creepy AF? How far are we from Stephen Miller going full Josef Mengele?

The way they rip families apart, it may make it easier for the next administration to reunite them.

Let’s be real. In their minds, it’s “when” not “if”. Fucking fascists

let's compound crazy practices and laws in the US. Kid was deported and swabbed at age 4 and turns 18, moves to Texas legally. They abide by the law, but unknowingly breaks Section 43.23 of the Texas Penal Code. Yes, it was deemed "unenforcable", but you know they'd still go after this repeat felon

They have a database sophisticated enough to track DNA over a lifetime but can’t restore separated families or give a manifest of their deportees? Not very efficient
