Apparently this happened three weeks ago and the news is just coming out now. Winston Peters as usual has no idea what is happening and is too busy licking Trump's boots to actually say or do anything.

Why are you commenting here? Just to troll?

Scratch a liberal...

I vote far left actually. I just happen to have empathy for everyone caught up in the US regime. Which you pretty clearly don't have. You could just as easily say that Central and South Americans chose to go to the US in search of a better life. However, that would obviously be fluffing psychotic.

Edit: Also this is news coverage in a New Zealand community, on a New Zealand site, by a New Zealand news service, because she's a New Zealander. Her being white doesn't have anything to do with it, and I imagine the coverage would be the same if she were, say, Maori. Don't conflate a lack of American news coverage of child detention in America, with an entirely different country prioritising news about its own citizens.
