The Trump administration is seeking approval for up to $2.3 billion for a follow-on contract to its self-deportation program, one that would include stipends for unaccompanied migrant children who "choose" to leave the country and mobile "rover" teams recruiting detainees nationwide, according to an investigation by PunchUp.
“It looks and feels a lot like human trafficking,” said immigration lawyer Rekha Sharma-Crawford. “That might sound controversial, but if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s probably not a car horn.”

People with dementia tend to shift back to old habits when they were younger and revert to what they knew.. this says a lot.

It ain't a blueprint, it's the actual record that they've already been doing this.

The panic around trans people is one as well. He wants trans women in vulnerable spots to take advantage of them, and wants the ability to... examine... children to 'make sure they're not Trans'.

Yeah, it's just a continuation. I would be shocked if it ever stopped, but maybe Jeff's death caused a temporary slowdown.

Wait, the plan on how to deal with kids from the guy who ran a childrens pageant to look at the children naked, was connected to child sex trafficking, and raped a bunch of kids... might be child sex trafficking?

Imagine knowing all that and still voting for him, even now watching this performance and still with around 40% support
How proud folks must be

Sounds like this will be used in all cases where there is doubt if due process was followed. "No, the individual signed their rights away. They have no rights. I promise. Trust me."
It's gonna get worse for Americans. Land of the conditional rights, when it's convenient for ones overlord. Sometimes no rights at all.

Huh, his old plan for children looked like human trafficking too. How 'bout that.

You can tell he's actively shitting his pants in the thumbnail

Not surprising that he thinks "the kid wanted to do it so it's okay"...

It can't be human trafficking, that's illegal.
They'll need to call it something else.
