HAPPENING NOW: Children being flown thousands of miles away from their families & parents into NY's Laguardia Airport. So many questions. Why? Where are they coming from? What airline is flying them in? Where will they be taken? How old are they? Who will take care of them? Why?https://twitter.com/lsarsour/status/1009636520192630785 …
