From Timothy Snyder: “In the schools and churches of Springfield, Ohio, people are again making hasty preparations for a “large deportation” of Haitians promised by the president.
Back in February, when I first wrote on this subject, the city was on the brink of a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis, in the context of the racially hateful language of the president. The deportation was halted by a district court in February on the correct ground that the decision to deport them was based on race. Ethnic cleansing has now been endorsed by the Supreme Court.
Before the district court and the the Supreme Court, Haitian plaintiffs claimed, with much evidence, that race was one of the motivating factors of the decision of the executive branch to terminate the protected status that allowed them to remain in the United States. The Supreme Court majority just chose, in a ruling that was openly counter-factual, to imagine that what was patently racist might not have been, and that the transparent motivations of the president and his administration “could have” have been different from what they were.
Self-lying by the powerful is often element of an ethnic cleansing campaign.”

I put it in my pants pocket. When I pulled it out, it had cracked at the silver ring area.

Is this fixable?

Amir stopped speaking. Kaleth stopped eating. Amalia lost consciousness in a detention facility and was given Tylenol.

These are not statistics. They are toddlers. And since Trump retook office, at least 500 babies and children aged 3 and under have spent time in ICE custody; 25 of them on any given day.
The facility holding them is the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas, run by a private prison company called CoreCivic. It was closed under Biden.

Trump reopened it in March 2025.

Pediatricians call infancy and toddlerhood the most critical window of brain development in a human life — a million neural connections forming every second. Toxic stress doesn't just traumatize children in the moment. It rewires them. The damage can follow them for decades.

At least 175 babies and toddlers have already been held past the 20-day federal limit set by the Flores settlement, the court agreement that has protected children in immigration detention since 1997. During Biden's last year, zero children under 3 were held past that limit.

ICE says conditions at Dilley are safe, sanitary, and appropriate. Attorneys who have visited the facility nine times called that account "fanciful." Lights stay on all night. Stuffed animals are banned from sleeping areas.

Parents have hidden cereal in their socks so their children wouldn't go to bed hungry.
These children's families shared their photos and their names so you would know them. Remember them.
