We are the Plague Blanket People.
We gave blankets loaded with smallpox to natives and waited for the infection to do what it would cost too much in ammunition and white lives to accomplish.
We kidnapped people off the streets and sent them to faraway countries to rot in prisons with known histories for human rights abuses. Or we kept them here, and tortured them, ourselves.
And we kidnapped, among those people, little boys.
This is going to be impossible to square with our future citizens, what we did here and now.
Liam Tadejo was on his way to a soccer game with his father last week when the Gestapo grabbed them. There’s a video of Liam crying as he walks holding his father’s hand with both of them in custody. In a phone call to his mother later, he said, “I love you” and “I miss you.”
Liam and his father are in the same concentration camp in Dilley, Texas, that held Liam Conejo Ramos until the courts stepped in. The Dilley facility is rapidly acquiting a reputation for abuse. It should be closed along with the other concentration camps created by the raping felon at the behest of Stephen “Dollar Store Goebbels” Miller. Close the facilities, salt the earth where they stood, and build parks that will remind people of what we did.
Liam Tadeo should be in kindergarten right now, but instead he’s in jail with his father after a routine traffic stop in Austin, Texas.
ProPublica has done the heavy lifting to covering our latest sin.
Free these children, for God’s sake. Free all of them, close these camps, abolish ICE and prosecute the abusers. Enough is enough.
