Two letters submitted by kids detained at the Dilley Family Detention Center.

I have no regard for a man who rips parents away from children, deports families, & imprisons our babies.

That's why I'm boycotting today's #SOTU & instead shedding light on the stories of our children terrorized by ICE.

Because our children deserve a childhood free from fear.

The pedophile führer's State of the Union is destined to be a disaster. In what fucking world can an adjudicated rapist suppress 50 pages of Epstein files that contain credible evidence that he raped a 13-year-old and then proceed to LIE to the American people in a SOTU address?
