Thank God. The fact that anyone ever thought, ***and the Obama administration continues to maintain***, that there is any safe or humane way to imprison children in high-security detention centers, is of course outrageous and deplorable. The fact that they will finally be forced to release 2,600 immigrant women and children from these deplorable conditions is a relief. But of course it is not good enough. It will never be good enough until every immigrant is released and all the detention centers are burned to the ground. #FreeAllPrisonersOfPolitics
