In Madagascar, driven by poverty and lack of opportunity, many children work as domestic workers in conditions that can be dangerous for their health and safety. A project of the International Labour Organization aims to reduce the number of children in domestic work through awareness-raising and skills training.

Tuesday Open Thread | The Evil from this Administration-IMMIGRATION
“The evil never stops with this group. As I have said before, The KKKeebler Elf is getting to fulfill all of his White Supremacist Fantasies. He will NEVER resign. He’s enjoying being cruel to the non-White masses.”
This tweet from Oliver Willis
People on the left need to get it through their skulls we’re opposing evil. It’s not just a set of polite ideas to be calmly debated. It is evil.

Is ABSOLUTELY ON POINT.
The story behind this tweet:
Pizza delivery man nabbed by ICE, Pablo Villavicencio, gets deportation order put on hold

This father is NOT a criminal. He wasn’t swept up doing criminal activity.
He went, ON HIS JOB, to deliver pizza to an Army Base, AND SOMEONE CALLED ICE ON HIM.
He.was.doing.his.phucking.JOB.
And, some evil azz muthaphucka called ICE on him.
The restaurants in the area are fighting back – not only fighting to bring this father home, but refusing to deliver to the Army Base until he is let loose by ICE.
Here is the latest in him:

I am sorry that this is the most positive story I have.
I, like, Oliver Willis, want folks to understand what we’re fighting against. Those who voted for Dolt45 are complicit in what is being done in the name of the United States of America.
In my last immigration post, I told you, that the OFFICIAL POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS TO RIP CHILDREN AWAY FROM THEIR PARENTS.
And, I want to make this clear:
This is NOT just those people that are coming here illegally.
This is happening to people ATTEMPTING TO GO THROUGH THE LEGAL ASYLUM PROCESS.
The blood is on those who voted for Dolt45.
The damage to these children and their families is on those who voted for Dolt45.
I will say this again:
The simplicity of the evil of this cuts through the bullshyt 
A public defender in McAllen says some migrants are told their kids are going to be taken away briefly to bathe, and then it dawns on them hours later they aren’t coming back

A new “Trail of Tears ‘…..
A six year old boy from Honduras remembers watching his dad be led away from him in handcuffs, the last time he saw him. His eight year old foster sibling remembers his mom crying and yelling as they were separated https://t.co/y2YXMhYMt7

Here is some of the damage. Please spread the word as to what’s being done in this country:
A family was separated at the border, and this distraught father took his own life
June 9 at 7:00 AM
A Honduran father separated from his wife and child suffered a breakdown at a Texas jail and killed himself in a padded cell last month, according to Border Patrol agents and an incident report filed by sheriff’s deputies.
The death of Marco Antonio Muñoz, 39, has not been publicly disclosed by the Department of Homeland Security, and did not appear in any local news accounts. But according to a copy of a sheriff’s department report obtained by The Washington Post, Muñoz was found on the floor of his cell May 13 in a pool of blood with an item of clothing twisted around his neck.
Starr County sheriff’s deputies recorded the incident as a “suicide in custody.”
ICE is torturing and killing detainees by withholding medical care. When the prisoner is in grave condition, then they are hospitalized and released from custody so when they die they are not listed as a death in ICE custody.https://t.co/o1D902U94V

I ask you…what could go wrong, with putting people who are here illegally WITH HARDENED CRIMINALS?
*jumps up and down screaming* “U.S. authorities are transferring into federal prisons about 1,600 ICE detainees…in the first large-scale use of federal prisons to hold detainees amid a Trump admin. crackdown on people entering the country illegally.” https://t.co/P067qZeT6s

Verified account @chrislhayesYesterday DOJ was sending around an opinion in which they managed to deport a woman who was kidnapped by rebels along with her husband, forced to watch as they made her husband dig his own grave and then murder him. They then made her their servant.
3:58 PM – 7 Jun 2018Chris Hayes
Verified account @chrislhayesAn immigration judge found that she had an asylum claim and could stay in the US, country but Sessions’ DOJ said she was guilty of material support for terrorism because HER FORCED LABOR FOR THE REBELS THAT KIDNAPPED HER AND MURDERED HER HUSBAND COUNTED AS MATERIAL SUPPORT.
3:58 PM – 7 Jun 2018Chris Hayes
Verified account @chrislhayesSo now they can deport her. Back to a country where said rebels now run the government.

THREAD
A constituent of @RepDaveBrat wrote to him expressing her anger at the Trump administration’s family separation policy.
The letter she got back is extremely revealing.
— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) June 8, 2018
BOTTOM LINE:
It is infuriating that the Trump administration has created this policy, even announced it and speechified about it and bragged about it, and now it and its allies, faced with the sheer moral revulsion in response, want to pretend it doesn’t exist.

This poor child
An Iowa DREAMER high school student, who never knew any country but America, was forced to go to Mexico. The kind of story that makes GOPrs cheer.
Three weeks later he was dead. Mexican gangsters found out who he was. And slit his throat.
What’s sad: so many GOPrs wont care.

I have more stories. Just as horrible. Just as rotten. Just as evil.
Either you believe that this is ok, or you believe it’s evil. There is no in between. There is no rationalization which makes the pain that is going on acceptable. We have nothing to discuss.
As a human being, you can’t be ok with this. And, if you aren’t ok with this, then you have to tell people what’s going on. Not everyone is as in tune with political happenings. But, people are parents. Have been the child of someone. Ask them to explain how this is ok. How taking away children from their parents is ok. Ask them to explain and reason it in English.
Don’t let them tell the lie.
THIS.DID. NOT.HAPPEN. UNDER. OBAMA. OR. ANY.OTHER.AMERICAN . PRESIDENT.
THIS is a policy created by Dolt45 and Attorney General White Citizens Council. Remember, it was first proposed by ‘ Aint Shyt’ John Kelly when he was over DHS.
The latest horror just came down yesterday.
