The torturer told US military bases to get ready to hold 20,000 minors as prisoners.

A visitor to Canada was jogging along the beach and without any notification found herself in the US. The US border thugs jailed her for two weeks, supposedly to make doubly sure she was not an unauthorized visitor to Canada.

That "reason" is no reason at all, since it wasn't necessary to do. The US thugs could have handed her over to a Canadian border post, which could have checked this immediately.

I am sure the reason for this policy, at some level, is a desire to cause pain — rationalized somehow, of course.
