The U.S. Government has issued extrajudicial death sentences for some immigrant children

and young adults who are here *legally* and have committed no crimes!

Didn’t the Constitution of the U.S. once prohibit the imposition of extrajudicial sentences of death?

Is this a trial balloon for expanded imposition of extrajudicial death sentences?

Cruelty is a feature, not a bug, after all . . .

Call it like it is.

Being in this country undocumented is a civil offense akin to jaywalking and not a criminal offense.

The violation of the VIII Amendment is stark and in our faces.
