A 1-year-old child appeared without legal representation in an Arizona immigration court this week and was told to file an asylum application before the next hearing or risk being ordered deported.
Your pretense that the Trump regime is reasonable shows you are on the side of sadistic monsters. It's already known that many minors have "disappeared" in Border Patrol/ICE detention.
What's happened to them? Some of them have certainly ended up victims of child trafficking in both labor and sex slave situations. Given that Trump likes to fuck 13 year old girls, and Kash Patel is OK with FBI agents having sex with animals, it might be even worse then that.
Are you OK with this stuff? What the fuck is wrong with you? I think you have abandoned being a normal human being.

Most often now I find better rates at full service hotels than these booking services, it just takes more time to find and book.
I am usually able to find a place faster on agoda.com than on airbnb fwiw.

Why stay at a sketchy house that makes you clean, when you can stay at a hotel that cleans for you?

However, at 36%, Trump needs something he can call a win,
This.
They aren't going to use the beam on illegal immigrants, they are talking about making a plan to potentially use it. Enough to get headlines, not enough to do anything.
