No. These orders came from the very top. Trump is a sadistic human trafficker. lagomorph777 Jun 2018 #2
No, definitely about "reporters" (several times) & not forbidding talking to other people. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jun 2018 #3

If the parents are requesting asylum and giving one account of why they left their country and what they fear, and their child makes statements that contradict that or tell another story, that could in fact complicate the parents asylum case and may even harm it.

It would be no different than a defense attorney telling a client to make sure their kids don’t go make any public statements. Or even an attorney in a civil case.

So I am not going to condemn this outright. This could be someone whose intentions are good.

Trump is directing and enjoying the deliberate abuse of thousands of children and babies.

You can expect the TRUMP organization to do everything they can to perpetuate this situation.

Plus, as others have said, TRUMP loves causing pain to women, brown people, and sympathizers of the "Democrat Party."
