Well, let's see how this kind of stuff squares with tons of MAGA votors. Or if it's all just bullshit...

Torrance boy, 9, detained by ICE for planned deportation to Honduras. Community is outraged
Earlier this week, residents in Torrance were scrambling to find out what happened to 9-year-old Martir Garcia Lara, a fourth-grader at Torrance Elementary, after he didn't show up for school.www.latimes.com
Federal officials confirmed Thursday that the boy and his father were taken into custody May 29 after checking in with federal officials in downtown Los Angeles. The two were transferred to an immigration facility in Texas the following day, and officials plan to deport them to Honduras.
The boy accompanied his father, Martir Garcia-Benegas, 50, to an immigration court facility in downtown Los Angeles on May 29, according to a statement from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Garcia-Benegas arrived in the United States on July 10, 2021, with his son. But an immigration judge ordered both the father and son to be deported to Honduras on Sept. 1, 2022.
The father appealed the decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals on Aug. 11, 2023, but the appeal was dismissed. The two did not leave the country as ordered by the immigration judge, according to an ICE spokesperson....
Federal officials initially referred to the boy as Martin Issac Garcia-Benegas but later clarified his full name as Martir Isaac Garcia Lara. He’s attended Torrance Elementary school since first grade, according to Villanueva, the PTA volunteer....
Martir and his father are being held at a facility in the south of Texas that is operated by private prison corporation CoreCivic. The facility can house up to 2,400 people and is billed as a family residential center. The facility was inactive in August 2024 but was restarted earlier this year, according to an announcement from the company.
Like in the OP????I'm not seeing in any of the stories I've read that this kid was separated from his father.

"However, instead of receiving an update on his father’s immigration status, the boy and his father were both detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and separated from each other."

The story is pretty clear-- they are presently at a detention center that is a "family residential center."
It's pretty clear they are not separated.
Post #9It's probably true that the kid was initially not allowed to be detained with adults.
It's also pretty clear that is no longer the case.

It's not at all "clear" the child is not separated from his parent.
Just because the for-profit calls itself a "Family Residential Center" doesn't mean the child has not been separated from his parent, per the news story.They are in a family residential center.
Why else be there?
Right. We have to assume that everything we disagree with politically is a lie and that everything we agree with politically is stone cold truth. It's the only way we can save democracy and freedom!Just because the for-profit calls itself a "Family Residential Center" doesn't mean the child has not been separated from his parent, per the news story.
It's not clear at all. The story posted by the local news says,The story is pretty clear-- they are presently at a detention center that is a "family residential center."

Inferences based on the name a private, for-profit prison corporation gives one of its formerly-closed, very-recently-reopened facilities is not a sound basis for deciding something is true. (Especially when the inference reflects one's wish that something were true.)Right.

I think that warrants more investigation by reporters.
Look, I really don't care if you believe Elvis is still alive. We have an initial source that claims separation happened with no support and other sources that indicate the kid and his father are together WITH support. Take your pick on what you want to believe.Inferences based on the name a private, for-profit prison corporation gives one of its formerly-closed, very-recently-reopened facilities is not a sound basis for deciding something is true.

Wrong. The "other source" in no way indicates the 8- or 9-year-old child is with his father.Look, I really don't care if you believe Elvis is still alive.

That ranks very high on the list of ignorant BS. Whatever color their skin is, they are here illegally and ordered out of the country 3 years ago. And they weren't "rounded up."the more brown people that are round up, the better. Right MAGGOTS?

It's also pretty clear this administration is run by fascist scumbags.It's probably true that the kid was initially not allowed to be detained with adults.
It's also pretty clear that is no longer the case.
