If he’s a mainliner (in keeping w/those schools), he’d likely use the NRSV translation, which reads “Let the children come to me, and do not stop them, for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs”

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."
Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

There is no justification for shooting an observer with seven agents holding him on the ground.
What will it take for GOP leaders to say enough?
You can't blame observers. You can't blame Democrats for telling the truth.
The blame lies with reckless ICE officers. ICE must go.
