This will make those with an empathy gene cringe (and Trumpkins proud I suppose). F-ing disgusting IMHO.
CHICAGO (AP) - When Lidia Karine Souza would call her 9-year-old son -- allowed just 20 minutes per week -- he would beg his mom though tears to do everything in her power to get him out of U.S. government custody and back to her.
The 27-year-old Brazilian mother, who is seeking asylum, has been trying with all her might.
She searched for weeks to find Diogo after the two were separated at the border in late May. When she was released June 9 from a Texas facility, she filled out nearly 40 pages of documents that U.S. officials told her were required to regain custody.
Then they told her that the rules had changed and that she needed any family members living with her in the United States to be fingerprinted and still more documents. This was not the safety she had sought for herself and her son. This was not the American dream.
"This ... is a nightmare," she said, sitting in a suburban Chicago hotel, still waiting to be reunited with Diogo, from whom she'd never spent more than a week apart before this.
On Tuesday, Souza's attorneys filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to demand her son be immediately released. He has spent four weeks at a government-contracted shelter in Chicago, much of it alone in a room, quarantined with chicken pox. He spent his 9th birthday on Monday without his mom.

Immigrant mom heads to court to get her son back
And had she obeyed the law she wouldn't have to put her child through this..... her actions did this to her child, not Trump....
He had chicken pox and is getting treated for the illness.....why didn't Mexico treat her child when she crossed into Mexico to get to the U.S.....
Everyone feels bad for this situation...but assholes like you are driving it by encouraging these people to break the law, putting them in this position...how about assholes like you buy time on Mexican radio telling them they need to go to a point of entry and file for asylum there...not jumping the border and getting arrested.
If they go to a point of entry.....asshole...... they are not separated from their children.....
You asshats are putting children in danger, because the drug cartels are grabbing up children to use as a get out of jail card...that is on you...you asshole...
