I had to take this to the Book of Faces

Is this a states’ rights argument?
B. The TVPA is unconstitutional on its face. Bama Budweiser understands the Court is bound by precedent but makes this argument to preserve the issue for further review. As noted above, the TVPA has been interpreted so broadly that it is tantamount to the federal abolition of states' use of forced labor as a punishment, despite the Thirteenth Amendment's specific carve-out for convicted criminals, and despite the lack of any constitutional grant of power to Congress to limit how states punish felons, outside of what was cruel and unusual. If that is indeed what the TVPA accomplishes, it represents a breathtaking arrogation of power by Congress wholly at odds with our system of federalism, contrary to the Tenth Amendment, and in defiance of the long-settled absence of a federal police power. It is not for Congress to determine whether convicted felons may be forced to work instead of being a captive burden on the taxpayer.

So you’re just not paying attention
Kamala Harris v 13h • My statement on what's unfolding in Los Angeles. THE OFFICE of KAMALA D. HARRIS Los Angeles is my home. And like so many Americans, I am appalled at what we are witnessing on the streets of our city. Deploying the National Guard is a dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos. In addition to the recent ICE raids in Southern California and across our nation, it is part of the Trump Administration's cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division. This Administration's actions are not about public safety - they're about stoking fear. Fear of a community demanding dignity and due process. Protest is a powerful tool - essential in the fight for justice. And as the LAPD, Mayor, and Governor have noted, demonstrations in defense of our immigrant neighbors have been overwhelmingly peaceful. I continue to support the millions of Americans who are standing up to protect our most fundamental rights and freedoms. 5 155K 9.8K comments 27.2K shares

This reads as if one of the kids was charged. This sounds like services that would be received with juvenile probation.
