BREAKING: Federal judge orders reunification of parents and children, end to most family separation

[ariesgem]

A federal judge in California late Tuesday ordered a halt to most family separations at the US border and the reunification of all families that have been separated in the first major rebuke to the Trump administration during ongoing furor over family separations at the border.

The court order specifically requires federal officials to stop detaining parents apart from their minor children, absent a determination the parent is unfit or the parent declines reunification; reunify all parents with their minor children who are under the age of 5 within 14 days and reunify all parents with their minor children age 5 and older within 30 days.
The order also mandates that officials provide parents contact with their children by phone within 10 days, if the parent is not already in contact with his or her child.

1. I like it. Other action needed

Sounds like a great start. There is still some life in our federal democratic republic. Where are the criminal charges against Trump Sessions and there minions. Abusing a child is a state crime. The fact that it is governmental agents committing the abuse is not a defense but an aggravating factor. The Nazis believed that the ends justify the mans. We do not. This is a blot on our history ranking right up with the Iraqi prison, Abu Graib
