Migrants are animals!

US President Donald Trump described some migrants as "animals" Wednesday, in a charged discussion about the border wall and law enforcement. "You wouldn't believe how bad these people are, these aren't people, these are animals and we're taking them out of the country," said Trump talking to California Republicans visiting the White House. His most recent comment -- loaded with echoes of Nazi language about Jews -- was swiftly condemned by Democrats.

Waterboarding for kids!

Ten children found living in squalid conditions in a California home were waterboarded, shot at with crossbows and had scalding water poured over them by their mother and her partner, authorities said. The abuse was detailed in a motion filed by prosecutors to increase the bail of the children's mother, 30-year-old Ina Rogers, who was ordered taken into custody and whose bail was set at $495,000. "On a continuous basis the children were getting punched, strangled, bitten, shot with weapons such as crossbows and bb guns, hit with weapons such as sticks and bats, subjected to 'waterboarding' and having scalding water poured on them," according to the motion filed by prosecutors. Rogers and her husband Jonathan Allen, 29, were arrested on March 31 at their home in  north of San Francisco.
