As no doubt most posters here are aware by now, this Republican administration has chosen to split up the families of asylum seekers, separating children from their parents. This is part of a deliberate policy by Jeff Sessions of attempting to terrorize immigrants in order to deter future immigration.
The UN has condemned this as a violation of international law. A US judged has declared it a clear constitutional violation. Since the US government has a poor record in terms of properly looking after immigrant children it imprisons, a US Senator attempted to visit the detention facility to check conditions there, and rather than let him in, staff called the police to kick him out.
In other threads I have pointed out to Cow Poke that the Republican party acts pretty consistently against families in their policies. This is simply the latest example, albeit a particularly egregious one.
Personally, I think the FBI should break down Jeff Sessions' door, arrest him, throw him into jail, indict him with enough charges that he serves the rest of his life in prison. The same goes down the chain of command for those who choose to follow such horrific orders from those above them. This is an international outrage that will make the history books, akin to the torture program of the last criminal Republican administration, and there should be immediate consequences for those involved.
