Children have never stopped being in American fields, nor have they ever stopped being held captive on American soil. How often are we attentive to the fact that there are still child captives? In a conversation with a friend, I remember talking about the child-removal policy of the Trump administration. And he responded that it was harrowing indeed, but how new was it really? Yes, he was right. Democratic presidents have had the same practices, only less cruelly enacted.
