Several members of Congress demanded to see immigrants at a detention center in New Jersey in a "surprise Father's Day visit," saying the fathers inside shouldn't be separated from their children.

Seven U.S. Representatives went to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Elizabeth in what they called #FathersDayofAction. Protesters gathered outside holding signs, including one that read: "Families Belong Together."

About 2,000 immigrant children have been separated from their families at the border over a six-week period, according to U.S. Department of Homeland Security figures.

1. That headline

Throw mama from the train a kiss.

12. Yeah...bad headline. I thought it meant the opposite of what it means. nt

[malthaussen]

16. Seriously, is it all that hard to write a coherent paragraph? n/t

[herding cats]

2. That's a bad headline.

Perhaps "speak to" would have been better?

Having said that, good for them!

5. It is a bad headline

But I had to post it per late breaking news rules. You can't change a headline. Let's hope it at least helps by bringing more exposure to a horrific human rights abuse situation.

6. I'm not blaming you!

I was just pointing out it was poorly written and confusing.

7. Thanks, I know you're not blaming me.

I just want others to be clear about the jumble.

14. THEY'RE ALL DEMOCRATS. This medium pretended

they weren't, BURIED the reality. That is why it is a deceiving headline, MEANT to deceive, MEANT to encourage people to believe Republican congressmen were caring also.

MEANT to negate to role and beliefs of Democrats.

Remember this for media: By their headlines we shall know them.

9. It's actually a great headline...

If it was about repug Trump enablers in congress

For this story - not so much

[herding cats]

11. Very true!

Its a shame it's not attached to a story where it would be accurate.

3. Do what the Republicans do!

When you see a headline like this: "Congress Members Demand to See Immigrant Fathers Separated From Children"

explain to your local Trumpers that the Republican members of Congress are demanding that families be split up.

The original headline must have been written by a Republican editor or writer, it's almost enough to support something Trump would say.

4. The Republican politicians and their supporters back the separation.

8. Thank you.

Sharing with friends.

10. Bad headline leads to bad OP subject line when you post in LBN

You can/should post in GD instead and put up a better subject line in instances such as this.

13. FINALLY something is getting done with the immigrants....thank god.
