NYC pop-up installation with children in cages and heartbreaking audio is getting national attention

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/6/12/1864299/-NYC-pop-up-installation-with-children-in-cages-and-heartbreaking-audio-is-getting-national-attention?detail=emaildkre

A guerrilla art installation began showing up all over New York City today. Small cages with sculpted children, under thin foil blankets, with audio of real children crying appeared in a variety of spots around NYC Wednesday morning. On the cages, the hashtag #NoKidsInCages. Organized by a Texas-based non profit legal service for immigrants, RAICES, the installations are making a big statement in one of America’s most powerful cities.

New York City’s WPIX11 reports that there are 24 installations in total, at heavily trafficked locations and tourist destination spots like Rockefeller Center, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Natural history museum, as well as in front of big media outlets like CNN, Fox News, Newsweek, Vice, and more.

to think many/some are still Eisenhower republicans. The worldview of the US is horrible under the tRump regime.
