Cruelty here isn’t a glitch, it’s the system. ICE doesn’t malfunction when it rips families apart; it performs exactly as designed, turning human suffering into bureaucratic routine.
The law becomes paperwork, the parent becomes a “case file,” and the children become collateral damage.
That’s how institutionalized violence hides in plain sight: cruelty normalized as policy, deterrence masquerading as enforcement.
And I keep wondering how the people who carry out these jobs justify it…how they live with the profoundly unethical sickness of breaking families for a paycheck. The truth is, they must be so twisted in the head to normalize this kind of heinous work. Russian secret police do this, the gestapo did this…
Why does our country produce this type of individual?
Thank you for highlighting their story. How awful for both of them. Being separated from a parent is cruel and unnecessary. This regime needs to be removed and prosecuted by The Hague, among other things.
This is driving me crazy. Where is this little boy? I cannot imagine the damage.This will do to him even if he is unharmed in detention, which is unlikely.
Where is the father now? It's really alarming that ICE keeps arresting people reporting to immigration offices, doing what they're supposed to do. I hope this little boy can be found and returned to his father.
