Story is horrible. Maybe the answer to what happened to parents would make it seem less horrible on US fascism angle. Maybe the fascism is so intense that no one is told what happened to the parents.

For now, I am really just going to assume that those were previously caught by ICE, due to the relevance to previous news.

Because, normally (stuff like death) you would have some legalese to get another guardian for the kid, which would then be available for the court proceedings and not have this happening.

The current resolutions as I see (from just the article though), seem to be more like - the children were staying with people, not very committed to keeping them and were initially hoping this to be a temporary measure until the parents “came back” (which never happened).
And now the children are having different sponsors (that read weird). What happens when the govt. goes around picking ppl out of those sponsors?

At this point, I don’t think we need to care about where those people were born.

The government has decided to harass the people and if another government can come and say, “We will provide you ‘work that pays’ and a ‘space to live’.”, a lot of those people would be willing to go through the temporary strain of going to another country and adjusting.

And if the US govt. is willing to say ‘NO’ to the offer and torture the people, well, Putin might be shitting too much, but is still a politician and I don’t see him letting go of the opportunity to band with UK (and the rest of the world), to go against the US this time.

One holocaust is enough for history. At least wait for the civilisation to (inevitable) forget the previous one, before creating another.

If the parents are being deported anyway, why don’t they let their children go with them?

If a 4 year old (with her 8 yo sister next to her) is unable to realise and say that they had some papers related to their birth, which were separated from them (probably confiscated by the ICE and disposed off) I’d say, it’s better for them to be deported.
Hopefully to a country with lesser brain-rot/poison in the water. Really, someone (country) just come and accept the children already. They need a better place than that.

Even better. Once they are accepted in a more reasonable country, they might have a better chance at reuniting with their parents.
I’d say, this is a good time for action for governments that are looking for more next-generation population.
