Black People Politics : Trump's separation of immigrant kids is like slavery

Migrant children describe abuse, being forcibly medicated at youth shelters: lawsuit

The lawsuit alleges that the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement "routinely" places migrant children on psychotropic drugs without parental consent and without telling the kids about the medication "in utter disregard of state laws."

The lawsuit against Attorney General Jeff Sessions was filed April 16 in U.S. District Court in California by the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law after Sessions announced the administration's "zero tolerance" policy on undocumented immigrants.

Separating Families at the Border Was Always Part of the Plan

President Trump is still trying to avoid responsibility for his administration’s brutal policy of separating migrant children from their parents at the border, but a new report confirms that Trump and his advisers had been considering the extreme measures for as long as they’ve been in power. According to the New York Times, White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller was “instrumental” in convincing the president to enact the policy, which applies a zero tolerance approach to prosecuting undocumented immigrants caught entering the U.S. — even if that means taking children away from their parents in the process.

From slavery to mass incarceration, America has separated families for centuries


In fact, state-sanctioned family separation has a long history in our country and is a widespread practice today.

It began during slavery with the brutal, daily and fully legal practice of buying and selling away children from their parents. About the time slavery was abolished, the government then began the practice of forcibly removing Native American children as young as 5 years old from their families in order to “civilize” them in white boarding schools — a practice that lasted more than 100 years and formally ended only with the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978.

Barbaric’: America’s cruel history of separating children from their parents

A mother unleashed a piercing scream as her baby was ripped from her arms during a slave auction. Even as a lash cut her back, she refused to put her baby down and climb atop an auction block.
But the child was torn from the arms of its mother amid the most heart-rending shrieks from the mother and child on the one hand, and the bitter oaths and cruel lashes from the tyrants on the other.”
