OCASIO-CORTEZ: “What is happening here is not the same as what happened during the Trump Administration where they took babies out of the arms of their mothers and deported their families and permanently traumatized these children, some of whom we don’t know will ever be reunified with their family again, which is a level of human rights violation that is just simply not the same. Both of these things are barbaric and they’re wrong, but when you rip a baby out of the hands of a mother, you cannot draw the same comparison. And anyone who is trying to do that is doing a profound disservice to the cause of justice. So I don’t want to excuse any of this, but I’m also — I don’t think we should also get them twisted together, because one is not the same and we cannot dust that under the rug. And by the way, those families are owed reparations, period."
