Thousands of Kids Lost From Parents In U.S. Deportation System
Nov 2, 2011 8:00AM EDT
WHO was President in 2011, and for nearly 3 years?
Why, none other than Barack Obama.
A yearlong investigation by Colorlines.com's publisher, the Applied Research Center, found more than 5,000 children stuck in
foster care because their parents were detained by ICE. One in four deportees have U.S.-born kids and face total loss of parental
rights.
Clara's eldest kid was 6 years old and her youngest just a year old when it happened. Josefina's baby was 9 months. All three
children were ripped from their mothers and sent to live in foster homes with strangers. Clara and Josefina, sisters in their
early 30s who lived together in a small northern New Mexico town, had done nothing to harm their children or to elicit the
attention of the child welfare department. Yet one morning last year, their family was shattered when federal immigration
authorities detained both sisters. Clara and Josefina were deported four months later.
For a year, they had no contact with their children.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was
a punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people
in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
