It’s so patently absurd to handcuff ANY of these Muslim travelers entering the country on valid visas, residency documents (green cards), and even U.S. passports. But to do so to children is so grossly beyond the pale that no one could defend it—could they?
Spicer, asked about 5 yr-old: "To assume that just b/c of someone's age or gender or whatever that they don't pose a threat would be wrong"

Like the Nazis they emulate, these assholes in the Trump regime aren’t treating children like this by accident, but by design. They are being cheered on by the Stormfront crowd, loving the idea of cuffed (and even dead!) brown children.
At some point, those carrying out these unconscionable orders are going to have to decide what side of history they want to be part of. They can’t pretend that a 5-year-old presents any kind of threat. Saying “I was just following orders” will never be a valid defense.
