* is actively preventing asylum seekers from being legally able to make their case
by limiting to zero or nearly zero the number of people it will allow into the "legal" ports of entry on the border for asylum seekers

* is arresting ALL who cross at other than those few legal entry points
even tho most are asylum seekers who have the legal RIGHT to seek asylum by both US and international law

* and calling the children that were separated from legal asylum seekers who were arrested "unaccompanied minors"
which puts them in a different category for treatment than if they'd been allowed to stay with their LEGAL asylum-seeking parents, and makes it a lot easier for the parents to lose custody

* has not kept adequate records and are hard-pressed to re-unite parents and children,
as a Federal court has ordered, because while they MAY know where the adults are, and they MAY know where all the children are, they DON'T know which children go with which parents, AND many of these children are too young to be able to tell them

* Is clearly committing crimes against humanity and atrocities.
