I keep wondering how you reunite a 4-year-old who doesn’t speak English with a deported parent who doesn’t know where their kid is. The only answer I can think of is: you don’t.

Yep. After a while, they’ll slip them into foster care or group homes, most likely. The most accurate comparison right now to me in terms of tactics seems to be residential schools, as it fits the pattern of separating children from parents ostensibly for “their own good”, followed by forced americanization. If I’m off-base I hope my Native mutuals will tell me, but the similarity on this front really stood out to me.  

Yeah, we’ve noticed the similarity. https://nativenewsonline.net/currents/trump-administrations-policy-of-separating-children-is-reminiscent-of-indian-boarding-schools/
