Slam Airlines For 'Buckling To A False Media Narrative' On Migrant Child
Passengers
American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, and Frontier
Airlines all condemned DHS earlier Wednesday and demanded that the government
stop using their flights to transport children separated from their families
-- even though they admitted they were not sure the government was, in
fact, using their flights for that purpose. But a DHS spokesman fired back,
noting the flights can actually be used to reunite families. Fox
VOA VIEW: Total madness.
Judge
Nap On Child Migrant Detentions
Judge Andrew Napolitano said Wednesday the federal government "has
failed miserably" to comply with a court decision which states that children
should be released after apprehension at the U.S. border. Napolitano explained
that under a 1997 Supreme Court decision in Flores v. Reno, the government
is required to release children from immigration detention "without unnecessary
delay" to the "least restrictive setting," meaning a parent or an adult
relative. "The government has failed miserably to comply with those basic
guidelines," he said on "Outnumbered." Fox
What
Trump's Family Separations Executive Order Does
The executive order states it is the policy of the administration "to
maintain family unity," a new position from the administration which had
been defending the separation of families and blaming the families themselves
for putting themselves in the position of being separated by crossing the
border illegally -- saying the administration's hands were tied. While
the Justice Department will continue to prosecute adults who cross the
border illegally in federal court, the order says, Trump asks that families
be housed together "where appropriate and consistent with law and available
resources." CNN
VOA VIEW: CNN doesn't make sense.
Secret

The United States Secret Service has been alerted in response to a
tweet by actor Peter Fonda, who said Barron Trump -- President Donald Trump's
youngest son -- should be separated from his mother and put "in a cage
with pedophiles." "We should rip Barron Trump from his mother's arms and
put him in a cage with pedophiles and see if mother will will stand up
against the giant a--hole she is married to. 90 million people in the streets
on the same weekend in the country. F---," Fonda wrote in a tweet, which
has since been deleted. CNN

Trump's
Order Could Mean Families Are Together, But May End Up In Detention Purgatory
Indefinitely
The executive order President Donald Trump signed on Wednesday may
put an end to separation of families, but it sets the stage for children
whose parents are prosecuted to be held in indefinite detention with their
parents while the family goes through immigration proceedings. Among many
other issues, that raises the question of where these families will be
held as they await court hearings. NBC
VOA VIEW: Illegals are their own worst
enemy.

Can't Get It's Story Straight On Family Separation And It Could Have Legal
Consequences
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen called a question about

on Monday, prompting confusion from observers who pointed out that other
White House officials had argued it did just that. "Because why would I
ever create a policy that purposely does that?" Nielsen said, speaking
to reporters at the White House. Asked whether the purpose might be "deterrence,"
she responded, "No." NBC

Children Drugged Without Consent At Government Centers, Court Documents

over the last six weeks is humane. But the ongoing lawsuit over the Flores

Demands Zero Border Enforcement: Detention Of Illegal Aliens Is A 'Form

President Donald Trumps executive order which
modifies his zero tolerance policy at the United States-Mexico border
has left Democrats and the open borders lobby fighting for an end to all
border enforcement, inviting floods of illegal immigration and cheap foreign
labor into the country. The zero-tolerance policy mandates that all illegal
border crossers including illegal alien adults who cross the border with
children be prosecuted and eventually deported from the U.S. This policy
results in border-crossing parents having their children taken into federal
custody. This is a loophole known as the Flores Settlement Agreement. InfoWars
