Family Separation at the Border: US citizens are now being detained

There has to be some consequences. As it stands, there's no motivation for the Trump administration to follow the order.
 
Judge ordered Sessions be held in contempt if a mother and daughter weren't returned to the US.

I think he make that a retroactive order for ALL those denied entry into the US under the zero tolerance policy.
 
 
 
Will Anyone in the Trump Administration Ever Be Held Accountable for the Zero-Tolerance Policy?

Such boldness doesn’t exactly come as a surprise. To date, no one in the Trump Administration has been held accountable for its family-separation policy, even after evidence has steadily mounted as to its immense human costs and administrative failures. The government’s own data show that it has had no appreciable effect on migration patterns throughout the summer, but the Administration pursued the policy anyway, targeting immigrant families. Zero tolerance was designed for the government to criminally prosecute all migrants who crossed the border illegally, yet, in May, less than a third of those arrested by Border Patrol were referred to the Department of Justice for prosecution, and a significant number of those referrals involved parents who crossed the border with their children. For years, there has been frustration among federal immigration authorities who felt that parents were taking advantage of laxer enforcement at the border when they travelled to the United States with their children. There are certainly flaws in the system, but the zero-tolerance policy was intended to send a message of unprecedented harshness. According to a report by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, at Syracuse University, “The Administration has not explained its rationale for prosecuting parents with children when that left so many other adults without children who were not being referred for prosecution.” Michelle Brané, of the Women’s Refugee Commission, told me, “It’s still baffling to me that no one has had to answer for this.”

I asked the current Administration official whether the outcry over family separation had caught the government by surprise. It had, the official said. “The expectation was that the kids would go to the Office of Refugee Resettlement, that the parents would get deported, and that no one would care.” Yet, when it became clear that the public did, the Administration chose not to change course.
 
Clearly they only listen to the GOP base if they thought there would be no outcry about kidnapping children and shipping away parents.
 

Totally. Who cares about kids being separated from their parents and then tortured? Clearly not the super Christian-Patriots that wear red hats made in China that support a serial cheater who pays off porn stars he fucks for fun.
 
You know, they aren’t real children, and the parents/adults aren’t real people. They are illegal creatures.

They are criminals. Worthy of no rights of empathy.
