Patricia J. Williams, at NYRB: "Of all the disruptive horrors of the Trump administration, child separation was the worst. It was a project of intentional kidnapping, intentionally inflicted death and despair."
"Children were heedlessly yanked from their parents, placed in metal and concrete pens, with few to no mechanisms or records to reunite them--violating every precept of fairness, due process, individual autonomy, and personal responsibility"
"According to the National Institutes of Health, the harm resulting from this sort of trauma will endure a lifetime, for both parents and children."
