I repurposed my old irony meter. It twitched downward slightly so I am assuming it to be a positive sign, though I suppose it could also be a transient current fluctuation.

So, much like the child separation policy, we can assume this announcement that the policy is ending doesn’t mean they’re going to stop trying to deport sick kids. They’re just going to look for some other justification for it.

Just quietly sending deportation notices to these people in the hopes that it’ll stay under the radar.
