Trump signs order temporarily ending his own family separation policy — after days of falsely blaming Democrats

20 Jun 2018 at 15:11 ET

...............................

His administration ordered the separation of children from their parents at the border as a result of their zero-tolerance prosecutions of immigrants seeking refuge in the U.S.

Homeland Security secretary Kirstjen Nielsen drafted the order Wednesday, and Trump signed it a short time later.

The president had hoped to use the detained children as leverage to force Democrats to agree to legislation funding a border wall and other Republican anti-immigration measures.

Trump’s executive order will try to get around a 1997 consent decree that prohibits the federal government from keeping children in immigrant detention, even with their parents, for more than 20 days.

That will almost certainly trigger a court challenge............................................

1. Trump saying this has gone on for 60 years and no one has had the political courage to fix it before

whow. his ego is flaring.

[procon]

2. Trump is lying! He's more interested in telling everyone how "tough"

he is on immigrant families.

[Maxheader]

3. Bastard...

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

4. He's a terrorist.

And he knows it.
I think it's partially about "his people" not bowing to him like the emperor.

[riversedge]

5. Bragging about keeping families together. over and over.

[rzemanfl]

6. WTF is with that hair? Did he leave a curler in? n/t

[riversedge]

9. His hair spray is melting.

[Marthe48]

28. residue

from pulling his head out of his ass.

[rzemanfl]

35. Best response! n/t

[Dave Starsky]

34. He has the most ridiculous hairstyle of any man ever.

At some point, even the most vain gentleman comes to the conclusion that he looks better bald. But Trump is not a gentleman.

[riversedge]

7. He brought up how Ivanka and Melania wanted to keep familes together.

[llmart]

13. Yeah, and some of the MSM...

is trying to push that line also. I call b.s. on them.

[riversedge]

18. Melania put out a weak statement and Ivanka did not put out any memo. And I do not

believe Trump.

[flibbitygiblets]

16. Oh, well if THEY want something, then of course...FUCK the rest of the world, right?

Yeah, nice try, and WAY to little, WAY too late. As mothers (one an immigrant mother, mind you), they should have been out there loud and clear from the get-go. Screw them and the $1000 Louboutin's they walked in on.

[bleedingulcers]

24. So those 2 get to set our national policies on children?

I'm not all that impressed with the parenting skills of the Trump family; I'm not sure that they should be setting policy for anybody...

[mahannah]

8. Reunification for already detained?

[Stuart G]

11. Not clear...I hope it is total reunification..

[TeamPooka]

10. Boy did the Homeland Security Sec look like a suck-up lackey there. She's done.

She has no credibility with the world now and Trump must hate her for fucking this up for him.

[riversedge]

12. She is doing what trump wants. like Sessions she will stay on. and Pruitt IMHO

[Stuart G]

14. When will parents get their children back??? or will they??not clear

[bucolic_frolic]

15. Trump's LIES blaming Democrats have been exposed, he is eating his humble pie

Trump's bluster has been exposed, he's lost his secret sauce

though I do think he put most of it on his hair

[BigmanPigman]

17. Now what will the House bill include?

Wall funding? This is not over but a small victory. Many small victories are coming if we keep this up as a country and pressure them.

Well, it is good to know that the mayors going to TX centers, governors refusing to send Nat. Troops for the border, major airlines refusing to assist the fake prez, news coverage, the entire Senate mad, many congressmen running for reelection mad, Session's Methodist Church mad at him, the protesters, Rachel crying, etc all got to him.


RESISTANCE WORKS! Well done and thanks to everybody involved.
WE DID IT! We can do it again.

[C Moon]

19. His followers must get so confused by that ahole:

One minute they are denying it is going on.
The next minute they are defending it.
Then, they are commending Trump for ending it.

Wow. What a strange group of people, lead by a strange person.

[RobinA]

21. They Live Minute to Minute

They don't even remember denying that it was going on. That is soooo last night. Defending it was all the way this morning.

[C Moon]

26. :D So true.

[RobinA]

20. This Is Good,

but as a narcissist having to back track he will now have to strike back in order to refuel his tanks. And soon. Unless, of course, he actually believes that he is ending 60 years of this horrible practice.

[riversedge]

22. oh, I think, in his mind, he really believes he has ended 60 years (of something).

[DeminPennswoods]

23. Josh Marshall and Chris Hayes

have both noted the EO, as written, sets up a confrontation with the Courts as it will ultimately violate the 1997 order that asylum seekers have a hearing within 20 days. Both think this is the plan, not an unintended consequence.

Also, earlier on MSNBC, they interviewed an attorney who works for an organization funded with federal tax money and contracted by the federal gov't that provides lawyers for immigrant children. He said a week or two ago, they were abruptly issued a stop work contract order meaning there will be no lawyers for the kids when they have their own immigration hearings.

[turbinetree]

25. Who are the list of "contractors" housing these human beings, and if any of them gave money to this

psychopath's election campaign from the past and today..............., they are charging me and you over 750 dollars per person in these tents, and then they are charging me and you 300 per person if they are in permanent sites, whatever the fuck that means ......................, there is now over 3000 babies being held some place, 70 kids are being taken and housed in internment camps..................without there parents..................this is just fucked up......

This asshole(s) are playing fucking games which are deadly................the temperature down there is over 100 degrees, and then if there is a hurricane......................then what.....................

November 2018 cannot get here fast enough

[Marthe48]

29. I thought of heat and hurricanes

I imagine tripe is hoping

[turbinetree]

30. What are they going to do, if a hurricane knocks out the generators............if they have any.....

[flibbitygiblets]

27. Instead of solving the problem, now the children will be incarcerated WITH their parents

Instead of rescinding the zero tolerance policy (for a misdemeanor), now the kids will be in prison. And when the parents go to court, the children will still be separated, left in the care of Federal agents.

This is not a humane solution. It will also be challenged in the courts.

[C_U_L8R]

31. Trump has devised a more efficient way to punish families

Don't be fooled by any of this.
We demand visibility into those Trump Concentration Camps

[Bernardo de La Paz]

32. Temporarily ending? Article does not explain how long until thugs start separating again.

Any insight?

[Mc Mike]

33. Temporarily.

2 faced forked tongue lying out of both sides of his fat mouth.

[riversedge]

36. I am glad to see some DEMS make a stink out of this--its lack of details!
