Thank you very much and God bless you.

The left lied about the whole situation. ICE attempted to take the boy home but no one answered the door and he was eventually put in detention with his father at his father's request.

Since when have the communists ever cared what the truth is? Thy’ve been pulling this phony martyrs routine since Sacco & Vanzetti a hundred years ago, and they’re still working it today - Renee what’sername in Minneapolis et al. They’re big believers in the Big Lie a la Goebbels - tell it long enough and loud enough and the useful idiots will believe it and act accordingly.

Democrats lie. Every day. The truth does not serve their perspective.

The Left cares about this child only as a propaganda opportunity.

The Left has no interest in the 300,000 “unaccompanied minors” lost by the Biden admin — many of them recovered by the Trump admin.

Suddenly demonicRATS give a sh*t about the welfare of children of illegal immigrants. They don’t give a flying fig about all the kids who were put into the hands of sex traffickers or who simply disappeared.
