Adults charged with illegal entry will be turned over to U.S. Marshals and sent directly to federal court. Their children will be transferred to the Office of Refugee Resettlement, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, which refers them to relatives in the US or to shelters run by private organizations.
The Department of Homeland Services says 700 children have been separated from their parents since the fiscal year began last October.
But given the chance, many Hoopers Island residents say they'd vote for Trump again. They believe that if he only knew about their plight, he would change his policy.
"I just don't think Donald Trump knows what's going on down here right now," Powley said. "Because if you're for business, well, you're putting businesses out of work here."
The numbers seem to correspond with what the Census Bureau and others have been predicting for years: that America's population growth will increasingly depend on immigrants, after decades in which the U.S. enjoyed a relatively high fertility rate when compared to other developed countries.
Interesting maneuvering going on in the House. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/05/house-republicans-discharge-petition-daca-immigration/560627/ Apparently there are 20 republicans who have some vestigial remainder of a spine and want to actually do their jobs and legislate on this issue. Currently trying to find 5 more spines.
“Most troubling to the court, is the continued assertion that Mr. Ramirez is gang-affiliated, despite providing no evidence,” the judge wrote. Daniel Ramirez Medina, 25, came to the U.S. when he was 10, and was taken into custody at a Des Moines home when agents arrested his father.
Nathaniel Bach, one of Ramirez’s attorneys, said the ruling means the government has to stop lying about his client and continue to grant him DACA status — both of which greatly improve his chances of remaining in the country.
After their marriage made Nuñez eligible for a green card, Frame pushed his husband to start the application process. Nuñez was nervous.
“He works 12 hours a day, he gets up at 3, leaves here at 3:30 in the morning for 12 hours,” Frame said. “I said, ‘If you get legal, you don’t have to do that sh– anymore.’ ”
On Jan. 31, when the couple showed up for a mandatory interview to adjust his status, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrested him.
Chicorelli said she fears immigrants who qualify under U.S. statute to become lawful residents will be deterred by such arrests.
“It becomes not just about the chilling effect on everyone who’s applying for green cards, it’s everyone else that has every right to an immigration benefit but won’t do it because they’re scared,” she said.
To be fair, Republicans love using the criminal justice system to rip parents away from their children.
