Trump Retreats on Separating Families, but Thousands Will Remain Apart

WASHINGTON — President Trump caved to enormous political pressure on Wednesday and signed an executive order meant to end the separation of families at the border by detaining parents and children together for an indefinite period.

“We’re going to have strong — very strong — borders, but we are going to keep the families together,” Mr. Trump said as he signed the order in the Oval Office. “I didn’t like the sight or the feeling of families being separated.”

But Justice Department officials said it was not clear whether the practice of separating families could resume after 20 days if a federal judge refuses to give the government the authority it wants to hold families together for a longer period.

And a Health and Human Services official said that more than 2,300 children who have already been separated from their parents under the president’s “zero tolerance” policy will not be immediately reunited with their families while the adults remain in federal custody during their immigration proceedings.

1. Fascist Trump DHS has NO plan to re-unite children with parents. Truly evil ripping families apart

Children are getting "lost" in the system and will never be re-united. They may even "disappear" to highly abusive fates (imagine the worst).

2. He probably thinks all he has to do

is say he'll do it. All his minions will certainly believe him.

3. Three thoughts here

1. It’s hump day. Cadet bone spurs is already focused on getting to one of his golf resorts by Friday evening, Saturday morning the latest.
2. His base — the Deplorables — have the attention span of a goldfish.
3. Faux Noise is already working feverishly to spin this 180° course change into his favor.

Meanwhile, the Congressional RepubliCONs will try to salvage their electability as the mid-terms approach like a inevitable tsunami. A blue 🌊 at that.

Get. Out. The. Vote.

4. So...this was a TRICK? A fake version rolled out to quell the rising protests, but which doesn't

actually stop the practice, and doesn't release the thousands of jailed children.

5. "executive order" was never necessary. It was an arbitrary choice. A phone call would have done this

6. Orange Clown is creating a Migrant Encampment

If he can’t deport them fast enough, he will put them away in seclusion.

It’ll be difficult and will take longer to reunite the families.

The damage is done, lines unimaginable have been cross.

The Orange Clown must be stop on November 6, 2018.

7. It's a cover up. These kids were abused. Trump will hold on to them

until after the midterms so that no one knows how badly they were treated. They will be brainwashed and those that can not be persuaded to tell the story Trump wants told will be flown back to some other country where they will conveniently disappear. Or they will get "lost".

These children are in mortal danger.
