Unfortunately over the past 8+ years reality itself has demonstrated that it's far too unbelievable to be a movie script.

Good to see sanity prevailing.
Next question is how the Trump administration will respond. My guess is that they're not going to do anything about everyone they've deported illegally at this point.
One of mine very quickly learnt to jump onto my desk and get in my face when he wanted attention. The other (the lap cat) recently realised how effective that was and has started doing it too.
It's just British or Australian English.
The article itself notes that the mothers were not given adequate time and given the complexity of having children who are legally US citizens, it can be readily argued that due process was denied in these cases:
One of the US children removed from the country has "a rare form of metastatic cancer" and was deported without medication or medical consultations, the ACLU said.
Gracie Willis of the National Immigration Project said the mothers weren't given a fair opportunity to decide whether they wanted the children to remain in the United States. Willis said the 4-year-old and the 7-year-old were deported to Honduras within a day of being arrested with their mother.
The cruelty is the point.
If this gets to the courts and they determine that this was done illegally (which as far as I can tell it was), then I expect the Trump administration to refuse to do anything about it, just like they're doing with Garcia.
Absolutely pathetic. Rather than risk needing to expel a neo-Nazi or two, they do exactly what the neo Nazis would want - cancel the involvement of Indigenous Australians altogether.

Nice to meet you!
They've really doubled down on "evil is good and good is evil" (to paraphrase Isaiah 5:20).
The efforts to correct for historical systemic prejudice and provide actual equal opportunity (which is a step towards the meritocracy they claim to want) is painted as being evil, whilst a return to the "equal outcome" (for the rich and white, regardless of skill or effort) is represented as good. They have deliberately gotten the two scenarios backwards in that EO.
This. All the Christians that support a theocracy need to stop and realise that there's no guarantee that their particular denomination is going to be the one running said theocracy. The whole concept of freedom of religion depends on the separation of church and state.
