ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.
Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.
He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Good on the Episcopal Church for taking a stand and committing to racial justice and reconciliation.
It's amazing *how many* are completely blind to the outright and obvious racism of the Trump administration. (But at this point, sadly not surprising.)

Except it would be worse… imagine Harper in power today, with Trump in charge next door.
