SANTA ANA, California (AP) — This story is part of an ongoing joint investigation between The Associated Press and the PBS series FRONTLINE on the treatment of migrant children, which includes an upcoming film.

After local Guatemalan officials burned down an environmental activist’s home, he decided to leave his village behind and flee to the United States, hoping he’d be granted asylum and his little boy, whose heart was failing, would receive lifesaving medical care.
But after crossing the border into Arizona in May of last year, Border Patrol agents tore the man’s 7-year-old son from his arms and sent the father nearly 2,000 miles (3,220 kilometers) away to a detention center in Georgia. The boy, now 8, went into a U.S.-funded foster home for migrant children in New York.
The foster care programs are aimed at providing migrant children with care while authorities work to connect them with parents, relatives or other sponsors. But instead the boy told a counselor he was repeatedly sexually molested by other boys in the foster home.
A review of 38 legal claims obtained by The Associated Press — some of which have never been made public — shows taxpayers could be on the hook for more than $200 million in damages from parents who said their children were harmed while in government custody.
The father and son are among dozens of families — separated at the border as part of the Trump administration’s zero tolerance policy — who are now preparing to sue the federal government, including several who say their young children were sexually, physically or emotionally abused in federally funded foster care.

I'm thinking the legal exposure is going to significantly exceed the amount I bolded. We have a situation in which a policy was put in place to intentionally harm people in order to deter them from applying for asylum.

"I am your retribution."
it's totally worth it to them
when you hate anyone not white as much as his base does
it doesn't matter

Are there going to be updates from the left that the markets were up today?

random thought:
suppose Trump "buying" Greenland is the same as Putin "buying" Crimea ?
The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to make sure he doesn’t get a gun.
It legit blows my mind the left defends Omar and Tlaibs anti-semitism
Cue in goldy and cajurns "but what about...." response
that is akin to cant believe sturg defends Trump--- after your many protestations.
How do you drink ?
...............................
opposing Israeli government practices is not the same or even close to anti semitism.
and quit using the term Semite wrong. It makes you look like a sheep
Applied properly, the Muslim Ban is/was antiSemitic
For one seemingly so concerned aboutPC you have an awfully flimsy understanding of the English language.
Guess part and parcel
