Nielsen did not because she told trump that federal court orders prohibited DHS from reinstating the policy and that he would be reversing his own executive order from June that ended family separation.
The insane part of this whole thing is, as cruel as Nielsen was, she still wasn’t cruel enough for fat donald.
You have to admit that trump and the republicans really have a good policy of stopping people from coming here. They just take their children away from them and they have no idea when they’ll get them back. It doesn’t matter if they’re fleeing violence or trying to make a better life for their family. When you start taking kids away from parents they’ll stop coming.
This shows you what a coward Trump really is. He backs off of family seperation in public because he doesn’t want people to be mad at him. Then he demands his underlings re-instate it because he hates foreigners, but wants the underlings to take the heat.
You guys didn’t care when the last 3 admins did the same thing. The Flores case…
" In 1997, the U.S. government reached an agreement known as the Flores Settlement Agreement, which arose out of Flores v. Reno , a 1987 California case."
“The Flores settlement requires that minors in INS custody must be housed in facilities that meet certain standards, including state standards for housing and care of dependent children. The settlement also establishes state licensing authority over detention facilities and defines a “licensed program” as any program, agency or organization that is licensed by an appropriate state agency to provide residential, group or foster care services for dependent children.”
" In 1985, Jenny Lisette Flores, an unaccompanied 15-year-old girl from El Salvador, was apprehended by the Immigration and Naturalization Service after illegally attempting to cross the Mexico-United States border.[2]:1648 The unaccompanied minor was taken to a detention facility where she was held among adults of both sexes, was daily strip searched, and was told she would only be released to the custody of her parents, who, INS suspected, were illegal immigrants.[3]"
The last three admins did not do the same thing. They did not separate families as a matter of zero-tolerance policy. They did not criminally prosecute every single family for illegal entry. They kept families together, but either immediately deported them or gave them a date to appear in immigration court to appeal their case. Quit spreading this stupid false talking point.
Neither Obama nor Democrats created Trump’s zero-tolerance policy, which calls for every illegal border crosser to be prosecuted and leads to their children being detained in separate facilities before being shipped to a shelter and eventually a sponsor family.
He took it even further by separating more than 2,000 children from their parents as a way to deter future migration, which has caused national bipartisan outrage. On Wednesday, he signed an executive order designed to end the family separations, but children would still be detained with their parents.
