Trump wanted to reinstate large scale separation of migrant families crossing border

Any Trump supporters care to tell us why it is perfectly okay for him to encourage federal agents to flagrantly violate court orders? I’m pretty sure this doesn’t fall under the usual “Not technically illegal” defense though…because it actually is.

no one expected the agents to take him seriously or litterally

They are really bad at this.

He enjoys inflicting pain.

This adminstration is a dumpster fire

Forcing a compromise? The only thing fat donald will be forcing is a major ass kicking come Nov. 2020

The cruelty is the point here.

Senior administration officials also told CNN that in the last four months or so, the President has been pushing Nielsen to enforce a stricter and more widespread “zero tolerance” immigration policy – not just the original policy started by former Attorney General Jeff Sessions and undone by the President once it was criticized – that called for the prosecution of individuals crossing the border illegally between ports of entry, resulting in the separation of parents from children.

According to multiple sources, the President wanted families separated even if they came in at a legal port of entry and were legal asylum seekers.

Yeah…remember when conservatives wanted people to praise trump and give him credit for ending family separation…

Absolutely. And now it seems he not only wants to bring it back, he wants to make it as cruel as humanly possible.

Its part of a (desired) change in the image of America.
Trump is rejecting the Statue of Liberty, beacon of hope, friend to all image that the US has tried to maintain for years.
He is trying to craft an image of the US as a power to be feared (and obeyed).

He is swapping the “beacon on a hill” for the “fortress overlooking the valley”.

I fully expect the law and order types on this board to be against him telling people to break the law…

Most don’t give a crap. 5th Ave syndrome, it’s real.

In other words, border agents told not to listen to President ■■■■ ferbrains.

[Apocalypto]

Let an oversight committee look into this and have the Border agents and their superiors testify under oath.

In other words, border agents told not to listen to President ■■■■ ferbrains.

Managers in the border patrol telling their people to ignore the man who swore ensure that the laws be faithfully executed else they be held liable for breaking the law.

“He just wants to separate families.”

Remember America, the Democrat Politicians only care about the lil children’s.

Just like they love all of those Aborted babies. And they do absolutely nothing
to stop the fact that little girls are put on birthcontrol as they migrate up to America
so when they get raped, they don’t get pregnant. I’m not sure where the Dem Dem
Politicians are though when this is happening, and why they don’t do something
to stop it? It’s all about the children.

When I think of all of those poor children, having a clean warm place to sleep,
with plenty of food in their bellies it sickens me just how inhumane Trump is being
to them!

He wasn’t talking about the white immigrants from like Norway and stuff.

Got it now?

NEW: President Trump has for months urged his admin. to reinstate large-scale separation of migrant families crossing border, according to 3 US officials with knowledge of the White House meetings; resigning Sec. Nielsen had resisted the pressure

LOL, she did her constitutional duty and fell on the sword.
