In recent weeks, the federal government has separated thousands of asylum-seeking children from their parents and reclassified the protective status of international domestic violence survivors. The attorneys general ask Sessions to immediately stop putting children in danger by separating them from their families.
“Put simply, the deliberate separation of children and their parents who seek lawful asylum in America is wrong,” the letter reads. “This practice is contrary to American values and must be stopped.”
Miller and the coalition of attorneys general argues that in addition to being cruel and dangerous, these policies are, at their core violations of international, federal and state law, as well as of judicial precedent. Almost universally, those laws and precedents state that children’s best interests are in remaining with their parents, absent a rigorous judicial inquiry. The Department of Justice is ignoring those best interests, putting politics ahead of children.
The letter also reads, “These practices directly interfere with the efforts of our offices and other law enforcement officials — locally, nationally, and internationally — to prevent and prosecute crime. In most states, attorneys general are responsible for enforcing laws that include human trafficking, drug trafficking, and gang violence offenses. As you are keenly aware, these issues are rarely local in context, rather they require the efforts and collaboration of law enforcement officials across both state and international borders to prevent the widespread and syndicated perpetration of these crimes.”
Attorney General Miller is joined by the attorneys general of New Mexico, California, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Washington in demanding an immediate change in policy.
The Democrats have lost their mind. Children are separated from their parents everyday and put in foster care and these liberal idiots love this. Now we have a President busting his ass to protect us and the lame-brained liberals are wanting to let all these people into our country. Hell, this kids are getting better treatment from Trump than they ever did under Obama. I gave up being one of the liberal fools a while ago and this just reinforces my decision..
Are you really that stupid?
Yes children are separated everyday from their parents, but they are NOT rounded up like cattle and in the dead of night and undercover sent all over the US.
With no documentation of where they are or where their parents are.
That is inhumane.
You gave up being a liberal because you must have had a lobotomy and decided to become a real dumbass.
Nobody is “wanting to let all of these people in”, we need secure borders & reform but not like this Trump bullshit.
And before you start spewing out lies about Democrats obstructing it, take note about a REAL fact.
“The House of Representatives will not vote on comprehensive immigration legislation as long as President Obama is in office,”
Republican Speaker of the house Paul Ryan in November of 2015.
Basically what that is, is Republican code talk for
“The House of Representatives will not vote on comprehensive immigration legislation as long as the Black guy is in the White House”
And Trump is busting his ass to destroy our country, he has done nothing except give a huge tax break to the wealthy.
Other than that he has alienated everyone of our staunchest Allies while being Vladimir Putin’s little bitch and kissing the ring of North Korea’s most violent and murderous dictator Kim Jong Un.
Now with his imposed tariffs, on other countries, they are retaliating with their own tariffs against us.
The only funny part of that is that it will hit Trump supporters hard, like all of the Iowa farmers that voted for Trump and now stand to lose well over one half a billion dollars.
Trump is very successful in one area though, he knows how to cater to the ignorant, gullible and terminally stupid, like you.
This new TRUMP immigration falsehood by the democrazys will stop to day – because he the president is done with their liberal bull chit and so are 65% of the hard working American people – PS the other 35% are public employees.
And yes, you are really that stupid.
dumocrats, FNN and miller are LOSING it …. They don’t care about human trafficking ! They miss controlling everyone and everything. I lov it.
Go back to school dumbass, your ignorance is showing once again.
Send kids clear across Mexico on top of train cars? Here you can be charged with child endangerment if you drive across a parking lot with child not in a car seat.
Miller is a liberal elitist, like most lawyers. Never complained about the same policy when O was president.
Trump folded like a cheap suit.
Peter Fonda is gonna wish he wasn’t such a libtard!!!
Worth county = anyone see or have anyone in a black Jeep with Maryland plate 3ck-0420 checking their gas meters out ? Illinois drivers license on one of the 3 – 2 men 1 woman saying their working for Alliant energy – all looked like middle easterners or there about -called Alliant and they told me to call Sheriff which I did this date – they also took a picture of my building. Sounds fake to me Maryland plates and Illinois drivers license – deep state ?
What about the woman who broke her parole whos now jailed? Her children are separated from her. No one is talking about her. Phony
hypocrites
Give it a rest Judy, you’re just spouting more mindless drivel.
Your feeble attempt is like comparing Apples to Oranges.
Instead of making some rational statement, you just go down the typical Trumpanzee road.
Trumpanzee….. “but, but, but”
I find it quasi queer that you would refer to someone as “Trumpanzee” and that’s alright.
If I remember correctly, Rosanne mentioned something about Valerie Jarret and a Planet of the Apes movie and the whole world fell apart. Was that a big deal or was it more because she supported Trump?
Ok, how about Trumpster Dumpsters then
Pay no mind to this anonymous buffoon. This liberal idiot hates this country and everyone who wants to make it better. Fault finding and name calling is all part of this idiots liberal personality.
Ha ha ha.
The US Government and President Trump ARE treating these illegal migrants excellent. In fact these people get treated BETTER then many AMERICANS.
This is a manufactured “so called crisis” for political purposes and everybody knows it. What is criminal about this, is the unreported DEATHS of the children they find locked in trunks of cars and the back of trucks that are being trafficked by the Mexican mob and Drug Lords.
It’s an absolute DISGRACE that 20 Democratic Attorney Generals would lie about the treatment of these children that have been shipped to America by their parents knowing the perils they face. The unwilling Democrats who refuse to stop the this ILLEGAL MIGRATION problem have the blood of these people on their hands.
To manufacture a crisis for political reasons at the expense of these children should anger everyone.
The fact of the matter is the Democrats have caused this problem by their insistence of open borders. Shamefull!!!!
My deepest condolences to you on you having a lobotomy.
I would wish for you to get better, but you never will.
It’s NOT news that 20 attorneys are liberal idiots.
Well, the comment is correct. Liberals have turned into the dumbest bastards I have ever seen.
These are ILLEGALS who are being incarcerated. If you go to jail you can’t take your kids with you and neither can they. All that is needed here is for worthless congress to do their jobs. They make the laws and D.O.J. enforces them.
No doubt they are all Dem AGs. And they have it wrong. The ones being separated are not those seeking asylum, they are the ones who entered illegally. Why can’t Dems bother with enforcing the laws they pass? Anarchy.
