All Trump did was replace his own cruel policy with new one: long-term family detention

Jesse Lehrich @JesseLehrich 6m6 minutes ago

the admin tore nearly 2,500 kids away from their parents.

their new EO does nothing to help those kids.

it doesn't ensure more families won't be separated.

all it does is partially roll back their own cruel policy with a new one: long-term family detentions.

Where entire families are placed in indefinite detention.

The House GOP "compromise" bill contains language that makes indefinite detention possible. So it could go from an EO to being codified into law.

Get people outraged over an action you did, then choose the action you wanted all along that wouldn't have been supported by itself.

words. He is a God damned liar...what we need to do is fight until zero tolerance is rescinded...that is the only way we can prevent child kidnapping by the Trump's administration...and the kids in these facilities are often mistreated. I have been reading some of the the known complaints ...enough to make you sick.
