      Crazy thought, but maybe it’s not the President in charge. Maybe it’s the record high heat and the deplorable conditions of confinement.

      Maybe we shouldn’t be holding these people in concentration camps to begin with.

        Maybe the president should have tackled the bad conditions in ICE detainment like he promised? He promised a more fair and humane system after Trump’s abuses of detainees and instead he’s treated Trump’s conditions as a record to beat.

          Sounds like pie-in-the-sky leftist agitprop to me.

          He promised a more fair and humane system after Trump’s abuses of detainees and instead he’s treated Trump’s conditions as a record to beat.

          Everyone knows that a Democratic President doesn’t have the same authority as a Republican President.

        ICE is controlled by the department of Homeland Security, which is under the executive branch. As we remember from civics class, the president is directly responsible for the executive branch. The president is responsible for the atrocities at the border.
