This is honestly so good in so many ways that are, whether by design or no, a rebuke to the aesthetic tyranny of the big budget, the phantom “general public,” etc, public access is strictly better than what we decided instead to pay for. Stop me before I thinkpiece but honestly though

It’s not only heartless and cruel, it’s also a stupid waste of money. Which is their brand of course: The cost of medical care was $52 million over 10 years. The Defense Department spent more on lobster tails in September than it spends in a typical year on transgender-specific medical care.

I think about these kids all the time. I have a 10 year old, who is picky about the shape and texture of his chicken nuggets. I can’t imagine how miserable he’d be without his familiar foods, his friends, his toys. The trauma of detentions is so much worse, of course, it’s so needlessly cruel.

Jamelle Bouie distills this in a way that is easy to understand - Miller’s policies and the actions of ICE have more in common with ethnic cleansing than immigration enforcement. That is why it’s about numbers (3,000 arrests a day) and why it’s designed to be terrifying instead of administrative.
