Comments by "Heather Riede" (@SaneMillennial) on "The "Crying Immigrant Girl" TIME Photo Being Proven Fake Is a Microcosm of Propaganda" video.

I was happy to hear CBS news share the real story behind the photo this morning as I listened to what they were talking about today for 10 minutes before I left for work. They finally got a hold of the actual ICE agent and photographer to explain that the mother and child weren't separated and the kid just started crying b/c the agent asked the mom to set her down so he could properly search her for safety, normal procedural reasons. Then once he was done the mom could pick her back up again. And they're being detained together as well, never separated. It pisses me off when magazines like TIME make people believe a false narrative w/their photo manipulation and this shit needs to stop.
