Trump administration officials have said that Immigration operations are focused on the “worst of the worst.” The following story — and hundreds others — make me question that claim.
Social media posts and a fundraiser set up to help the family of a young man “indicate he was walking his dog on Aug. 8 – just days after his 18th birthday and right before he was due to start his senior year at Reseda High School – when masked immigration agents took him into custody.” Walking the dog?
“The family, per the posts, was unable to get information on his whereabouts after he was taken into custody. On Aug. 9, a GoFundMe was started . . . ; an update posted the next day elaborated that Benjamin was `cramped in a holding cell with about 50 others, without access to basic hygiene, warmth, or adequate food.'”
