Trump wanted ACLU/nonprofits to locate DEPORTED parents of separated kids--JUDGE SAID 'UNEXCEPABLE"!

I am just appalled at how despicable our government is!

Hell, the shitbag provides plenty of proper opportunities for being sued every time he opens his yap. Or so it seems. The ACLU has never been as active or needed as now.
