The article says the parents are here legally. How long have they been here legally? How did ICE and HHS find mom and dad? I wonder how mom and dad got picked to have their kids returned?
I doubt if the “parents” are even questioned on their status, but if they are, they can purchase some ID on the street for a few bucks. I’ve read that a lot of these “parents and family” are being paid to claim the “children” just to get them released.
Did the parents get a letter saying “Your kids will be on the 5:15 out of Brownsville. Be there to pick them up.”?
I’m sure they were thrilled to learn that their children had made the trip safely. They hadn’t heard from them in 6 years.
