For kids, the trauma and fear as usual will not be quantified or “measurable”. How we as caregivers/Americans prepare for caring for affected children after (and in real time) these terrorizing moments in US history, STRONG HEARTS ALL IN.
ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.
