Detention center script: “I’m calling to demand that two-month-old Juan Nicolas be immediately released with his mother into the care of a hospital. He is going to die if he’s not seen.

Today is my activist octogenarian mother’s birthday — and she despises Trump, ICE, and the entire cruel, racist gang terrorizing communities.
