Marine Corps veteran Adrian Clouatre doesn’t know how to tell his children where their mother went after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers detained her last month.

When his nearly 2-year-old son Noah asks for his mother before bed, Clouatre just tells him, “Mama will be back soon.” When his 3-month-old, breastfeeding daughter Lyn is hungry, he gives her a bottle of baby formula instead. He’s worried how his newborn will bond with her mother absent skin-to-skin contact.

His wife, Paola, is one of tens of thousands of people in custody and facing deportation as the Trump administration pushes for immigration officers to arrest 3,000 people a day.

“I’m all for ‘get the criminals out of the country,’ right?” he said. “But the people that are here working hard, especially the ones married to Americans — I mean, that’s always been a way to secure a green card.”

Didn't care until it impacted him, ex marine, dude totally voted for Trump. So: good, hope you and your kids suffer the consequences of your actions, scum

    I don't think the kid voted for Trump. You're not really standing on higher moral ground asking for an innocent children to suffer

    Wanting the parent to suffer is one thing and it's fine. Wanting the parent to suffer and not caring is not great but defensible. But explicitly wanting the innocent kid to suffer is seriously fucked up. You're a very bad person if you stand behind that statement. I'm assuming it's just poor communication though and you don't really realize what you said?

    hope you and your kids suffer

    So you don’t want the cartels out of the country and such it doesn’t specify who not everyone is your enemy

    That's a great example because ending the war on drugs would be much more effective than deporting "criminals". The Republicans elected a criminal; when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.
