Again — it requires intentional wanton cruelty to incarcerate a nine-year old indefinitely, without so much as a probable cause hearing. But this is how Tangerine 2.0 has decided to treat our fellow young humans. Deplorable.
These kids should be in school during the days, and free to play in the parks until dark, out east in the evening. Not so, in Trump’s ugly and lawless America. Here’s Matthew Russell Lee, on it all:
…Two children, 13 and 9, have been detained for six months without apparent progress toward their release by the Office of Refugee Resettlement.
In a habeas corpus petition replete with redactions, their next friend Lauren Louda has sued for their release in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, where Inner City Press found the petition.
Their mother, in Rhode Island, had rented a larger apartment for their release, after a home study report “due to a household member’s property and prior actions, both previously unknown” to the mother.
But they remain in “transitional foster care at Abbott House, an ORR subcontractor.”
The case has been assigned to Judge Arun Subramanian. He has ordered that they not be moved out of SDNY, EDNY or New Jersey absent the Court’s prior approval. Response is due on August 7.
It is Fouda v. Salazar, 1:26-cv-6559….
Dammit — this is… utterly incongruous with the lady in the harbor’s light. Onward.
