I simply do not have the words to adequately express my horror at what the author revealed about the family separation policy implemented and pursued by the trump administration. The details are so much worse than what has been revealed in the reporting I’ve read about this to date. The people involved in this are even worse than you can imagine. The cruelty REALLY was the entire point. The author refers to a report by a group who said that the tactics and actions taken in support of this policy meet the definition of torture. There’s a special place in Hell for the people who enforced this policy and I sincerely hope that ever single person involved burns there for eternity.… (more)

BOOK REVIEW: @jacobsoboroff book “Separated” is meticulously researched and documented. Excellent fact based journalism that details the catastrophic impact of Trump’s zero tolerance policy on immigrants and their children. The cruelty is the point. Trump changed the policies so that an adult entering the USA illegally was considered felonious and therefore taking their children away from them was mandatory. To make matters worse the government had no system in place to track which children belonged to which parent. Children have been lost in the system with no hope of ever reuniting with their parents. Many of these children are still babies and wouldn’t even be able to identify their parents or where they are from given the chance under a new administration.

He takes you on a journey with a father and son who have been separated by the chaotic, cruel designs of Trump and his administration. It’s heartbreaking.

I hope Mr. Soboroff gets to write an update to the book. The final update will place children back with their parents and families and hold Trump and his administration responsible for their crimes against humanity. The book is a tragic one that may keep you awake at night. Read it. @KatoJustus4
