Today’s Action: End Trump’s Zero-Tolerance Policy
President Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions have worked together since April to separate 2,500 children from their asylum-seeking parents at the U.S.-Mexico border. But on Wednesday, Trump bowed to political pressure and ended family separation…except that this new executive order is also horrendous.
Moving forward with Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy, which criminally prosecutes all adults caught entering illegally, children will be jailed with their parents. Current plans are to house up to 20,000 immigrant families on military bases in temporary shelters — officially launching our 21st-century version of the Japanese internment camps during World War II.
It was shameful then,, and it’s shameful now.
Trump’s plan is also likely in violation of a court settlement that protects children in federal custody. Trump, with his general contempt for our justice system, is asking the courts to dismantle their rules. The only way out of this Catch-22 is dismantling what launched it: Trump’s zero-tolerance policy.
And those 2,500 children ripped away before he signed his executive order? Trump currently has zero plans to reunite them with their families (and zero incentive – it’s a billion-dollar industry). Which means these children, whose desperate cries are burned in our eardrums, still may have no hope of finding their parents ever again…unless we keep the pressure on until Trump caves again.
