U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers detained the wife of a Marine Corps veteran in Louisiana during a routine immigration appointment in New Orleans.

Marine Corps veteran Adrian Clouatre doesn’t know how to tell his children where their mother went after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers detained her last month.

When his nearly 2-year-old son Noah asks for his mother before bed, Clouatre just tells him, “Mama will be back soon.” When his 3-month-old, breastfeeding daughter Lyn is hungry, he gives her a bottle of baby formula instead. He’s worried how his newborn will bond with her mother absent skin-to-skin contact.

His wife, Paola, is one of tens of thousands of people in custody and facing deportation as the Trump administration pushes for immigration officers to arrest 3,000 people a day.

      Wanting the parent to suffer is one thing and it’s fine. Wanting the parent to suffer and not caring is not great but defensible. But explicitly wanting the innocent kid to suffer is seriously fucked up. You’re a very bad person if you stand behind that statement. I’m assuming it’s just poor communication though and you don’t really realize what you said?

      hope you and your kids suffer

        No, I hope the kid suffers the consequences of their parents actions and that the parent suffers seeing their child suffer.

        The kid doesn’t magically become immune from consequences just because they’re a kid and I’m not about to clutch my pearls over their suffering when it’s the parent who should have worried about that. At least this sufferig impacts people who deserve it

          His wife is being punished for a mistake her mother made when she was a child. You’re not really taking the high road here hoping the same things happen to her kids.

          So you don’t agree with granting amnesty to kids brought over illegally by their parents? You’re fine with them suffering for the actions of their parents?

          You’re fucked in the head. The kid should be immune to consequences of other people’s actions. Everyone should be. They’re not and that’s part of life being unfair. You’re pretty fucking evil. Congrats on finding even lower ground on this topic.
