I'm not religious by any means but, I see the premise of it becoming a weapon to stab someone. So a precautionary measure yes but, can also be unneeded. It's a fine line between over policing and being safe. Very difficult in the situations that these people are currently in.

I wouldn't trust news from www.insider.com no more.
They hid the date of the photo in the middle of the article, knowing that Trump is a million times more news worthy than Obama or Bush. Maybe 1 out of 20 people would read that far.

Well you could hide drugs in them. Or heck made them out of drugs.
All you need is a press and some color. So this is probaly the reason why they were taken away.
So fake news thread. What is there to discuss?
Reading the article it looks like they were given 30 days to retrieve them. So his whole shpiel about "these are deeply personal, important items that must be preserved!" seems to be disagreed with by the owners of said items, who left them behind.
Going through them and showing that publicly as a way to see into the lives of the people crossing the border and what they're like seems nice but kind of invading their privacy? I could compare it to rummaging through someone's garbage on an archeological dig.
Your comparison to plunder is exaggerating considering the rather obvious fact of these aren't monetarily valuable items and they're not being kept.
I wish the mods wouldn't treat the politics forum like a dump and pile this trash here when they can and should lock it instead.

I am not religious, but I have a rosary. It was my grandmother's. It's an old ornate little thing with ivory beads and a cross carved out of horn.
I have many memories of my grandmother praying with them, wearing it either as a necklace or a bracelet. It's a personal effect, not a meaningless trinket.
The punishment for supporting Hillary should be a little bumper sticker that says - At least I am not un-American, Racist, Fascist, Rape apologist Trumpkin.
