On this Memorial Day, what I want to know is Where Are The Children

On this Memorial Day, my thoughts are not with those who died in military service but with some ~1,500 of the hopefully still living.

My dad and I have already started our phone campaign of calling this list of numbers every day until the children kidnapped by the tRUmp administration are returned and reunited with their parents:

International Human Rights Watch
212-290-4700

United Nations Human Rights
212-415-4026

Department of Health and Human Services E. Scott Lloyd
202-401-9246

Department of Homeland Security
202-282-8495

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
866-347-2423
Dear ones, my dad, who served in the Navy (unlike cadet bone spurs) did not serve so that Nazis in the White House could kidnap the children of legal asylum seekers. Neither did any of my aunts, uncles, great-aunts, great-uncles, or cousins.

And I haven't had a decades-long career in the Department of Defense so that the government could rip babies away from their mothers' arms and sell them to human traffickers.
