Subdermal tracking implants then? Although I wouldn't put it past these drooling sadists to start cutting things out of their prisoners.

I can't tell if this is a serious suggestion, or if it's proposed in the same tone as "a modest proposal".

In case you are serious: This is a pretty horrifying proposal. Humans can get microchipped, but these cost money, are very painful to administer, and importantly are RFID only, i.e. not useful for finding ones own children.

Yes, and that was with Obama and 'children in cages'.

Trump is only turning the screws that were firmly installed by all previous presidents and congresses. The only real shock to this immigration action is the blitzkrieg of immediacy, horror, and flaunting violating court orders.

Courts don't have police to enforce judgements. The executive branch does. Hard to enforce finger-wagging. (And well, hello arrested judge day yesterday)
