Trump administration implementing a policy they were told will help MS-13

Don’t you think some of the people the US is harming will become terrorists against the US?

Justice department will use “illegal alien” instead of “undocumented”

The Justice Department has instructed US attorneys offices not to use the term "undocumented" immigrants and instead refer to someone illegally in the US as "an illegal alien," according to a copy of an agency-wide email obtained by CNN.https://t.co/H6dTJrt1Do

Trump administration fails to meet the deadline to reunite children under 5 with parents

Only 38 of 102 children under age 5 were reunited with the parents by the deadline. Some didn’t even recognize their parents. This is terrible and all a result of Trump’s policy and lack of implementation planning.

Let’s look into the future. Don’t you think these children will remember what the US did to them? I won’t be surprised if some turn into anti-US terrorists.

"Why was it so easy for them to take our children but so hard to give them back?"

And just one slice of the thousands of kids they have. We see why last two admins handled differently. It wasn’t weakness – it was realty. Trump had every reason to know this would be the result of mass arrests and yet failed to plan. Known as recklessness in law https://t.co/eO5dGzyr3Q

Trump’s family separation fiasco

They provided an update today but I am not convinced that they know how many kids they have and how the reunite them with their parents. What a cruel fiasco!

HHS’s own numbers appear to show no progress – and in fact back sliding -on reunifying children with their parents.
Children held last week: 2,047.
Children held today: approx. 3000.

Still no exact numbers

Last week Sec. Azar testified under oath he could find separated children “within seconds” and “2,047” were in HHS custody. Now says “somewhere less than 3,000” and falsely blames courts and Congress for crisis Trump created. https://t.co/8I5CXO5ryJ
