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 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

            His wife is being punished for a mistake her mother made when she was a child. You’re not really taking the high road here hoping the same things happen to her kids.

                Probably. The irony that that’s probably the same reason this guy from the article holds his beliefs though is frustrating

                  I don’t know. I was just suggesting the person might not actually be an awful human being and was just angry. Perhaps I should have suggested they just need counselling?

            So you don’t agree with granting amnesty to kids brought over illegally by their parents? You’re fine with them suffering for the actions of their parents?
