If you get arrested on a Friday for a warrant on outstanding traffic tickets, you will be taken into custody and held in jail for the weekend(for failure to appear or pay tickets when due)....if you have your children with you they will be placed with youth services if you have no one to take them....at least that's how it went for me in Mass. about 30 years ago.

I got arrested on Friday of Labor Day weekend and remained in jail until court convened on Tuesday...my son was 4 years old.....luckily I was in Mass visiting family and someone could come get him, or he would have been placed with Youth Services

Actually that happened in No. Randolph as I was pulling out of Eli and Chris's Shell station....Frank will know where that is

that is not what's happened with some of the children brought in illegally...they were taken and separated from their parents/families and sent to other detention facilities without adequate steps taken to identify them and the adults who they arrived with...as a result, there are more than 2,000 children who we are trying to identify and re-unite...these kids have no idea where their parents are and the parents have no idea where their kids are...

in your case, the govt. made a mistake in taking you into custody, but they fulfilled their humanitarian obligation to ensure the safety of your kids, even though you were a suspected criminal... your children were placed in a custodial and safe environment, and YOU KNEW where they were and they could have visited you while you were incarcerated...that responsibility remains today...when people are arrested, the state has to take some protective measures to ensure the safety of the arrestee's kids...and inform the arrestee...

as for the argument that some people entering the country illegally are bringing in some stranger's kids in order to game the system...only people who've never travelled long distances with their own kids, let alone someone else's kids, are saying that...

it's possible Eli and Chris were the original partners and the guy I called Chris is neither but is the 50/60ish son of one of the originals...but an Alexopoulis in any event.

So that image on the magazine cover didn't symbolize the strong narrative that the liberal left is out of line, acting like babies, and are being disciplined by the president as if he were a father to them?

Because that's what I took from the cover...

So that image on the magazine cover didn't symbolize the strong narrative that 66% of Americans are against Trump's policy of separating children from their parents , especially babies, and are being seriously maltreated by a president (who lost the popular vote) that thinks he should be king even though he lacks a moral compass?
Because that's what 66% of americans took from the cover...

Here's an article about false statements made regarding the Trump Administration's zero-tolerance policy that separated children from their families...just so we can have an actual debate with actual knowledge of the facts. Too often, we get our "facts" from a preferred cable opinion channel: Trump/Fox vs Dem/CNN

https://www.factcheck.org/2018/06/more-bogus-border-claims/

When one compares the "news" from Fox and CNN, it becomes clear who has done a better job of factual reporting and who are the real purveyors of fake news...

^ Fake news. Looked at the home page, looks like an arm of CNN to me.

Hard to think a site is biased if every article is nothing but trump this, trump that, trumps cronies this... you get the point.

... when 98.2% of the lies these days are being told by trump himself, I wouldn't be too surprised to find him the primary topic of a "fact check" site...

He signed an order, then winked and nodded at DHS, HHS and ICE...they haven't re-united many kids with their families yet...

besides, weather is getting nice, let's all go outside and take a walk, get some exercise instead of sitting at home getting outraged watching TV...

if we had done any prior planning, we coulda met somewhere between SoCal and OK, and walked with some peeps...
