The Trump Administration Can’t Find the Parents of 545 Migrant Children

Because the Trump administration was created to show us exactly what the devil looks like, in 2018 they issued a “zero-tolerance” border-crossing policy that separated migrant children at the southern U.S. border from their parents and enslaved them in cages.

And since she’s also seen how easily pigs can spread novel viruses to humans, she’s even more concerned.

Given the frequency of pig to human transmission, she says, we’re “playing Russian roulette” with our current system of factory farming animals.
