This report from the Atlantic is very long. Only a few of you will have the patience to read it @Evangelicalhumanist. It is for you that I post this. Once you choose to read this article, I think it may be hard for you to stop.
Please post and discuss sections from this report that you think are most notable. The intentional cruelty here is unforgivable.
Watch for the names of Trump's enablers in this to find their way back into his next administration. Tom Homan is one. I suspect Kevin McAleenan will be one. Stephen Miller has been picked for Trump's Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy.

If anyone is likely to lead another push for the American government to separate families, it’s Stephen Miller. For a year and a half, I tried to reach him so that I could ask him directly, among other things, why he had lobbied so forcefully for this to occur in the first place, and whether he would do so again in the future. A close friend of Miller and his wife explained that ever since the couple became parents, they had been consumed by child care and were hard to reach.

Minimum number of separated children as of January 20, 2021, according to government records
As my deadline approached, Miller repeatedly ducked or delayed speaking with me. Once, when I got Miller on the phone, he quickly told me that he had to go, and hung up. He soon sent a follow-up text to explain why he had been so abrupt. “With the extended family.” he said. “And our little one.”
