Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a “hostile act” against him is definitely something an innocent person would do. And scheduling a military flyover in the middle of the survivor press conference is also totally normal behavior.

To be under ORR custody, these kids have had to make a dangerous journey & scale bureaucratic mtns. The US gov surely has their birth certificates & those of their family members; they’ve been interviewed, as has their family. Family in the USA has likely been fingerprinted for FBI background cks.
Persimmons for Peace (@uniblonder.bsky.social) reply parent
I am not sure of the specifics of these particular kids, but if they are under ORR custody, they are in a shelter or foster home which is overseen by ORR. They are almost certainly awaiting reunification w a family member in the US & entered legally thru the UAC program. acf.gov/orr/fact-she...

Don't know why Disney is trending, but keep this on the front burner. A subpoena duces tecum was just sent to the Epstein estate. The window of time in which they are seeking information goes as far back as Jan 1990. 1990 Right when Trump and Epstein started to became "good friends"
