Protecting the National Interest
I’m just a plainspoken Colorado criminal defense lawyer, but the way I see it…
This is what happens when the President of the United States separates children from their parents to force immigration reform.
A six-year-old girl is separated from her mother by his zero-tolerance policy.
She’s given an almost immediate taste of Trump detention hospitality, and is sexually abused by another, older boy. Anyone remember which U.S. President offered the dating advice, “Grab ’em by the pussy”?
The helpful people at the “summer camp” (that’s what the Trump folks like to call their kiddie jails) explain to her that even though it’s “safe, even fun” there, she needs to acknowledge that sometimes it’s not so safe nor fun. They make her sign a statement that says they explained all about good touches and bad touches. And by the way, they tell her, by signing, it’s your responsibility to make sure you don’t let anyone touch you in that bad way again. Your responsibility; nothing to do with us.
She’s six, though, see, so she doesn’t sign the paper like you or I would. She just signs with a “D.” And where they want her to write her age, written there is “(tender age).” I don’t think she wrote that, do you? She’s six.
But good, she’s been told.
But bad, she doesn’t hold up her end of the bargain she just made. She lets the same little bastard who did it the first time, do it again. Totally on her. They told her to keep her distance. And now, the Fake News has found out about it, and you know who they’re going to blame. Shoulda leaked the story to Fox News first.
Elsewhere, a bunch of teenage boys are forcibly removed to another “summer camp.”
The Trump folk don’t actually screen employees the way actual summer camps do. So okay, a few bad apples slip in. One of them, over just a little bit of time, tries to slip it to eight of the boys, or force them to slip it to him. He ends up charged with eleven sex offenses, all of them not as much fun as the Trump people promised things would be. Forgot to mention, this particular “camp counselor” is HIV-positive.
And there are hundreds of reports like these, of police nationwide responding to allegations of sex crimes at shelters that serve immigrant children. “Serves them” just about describes it.
Just another day for the President. Just another crime against humanity. But hey, all in good fun.
