| Peace___Frog 06/20/18 2:07:33 PM #320: | The issue with his solution is that it is likely still illegal. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/06/20/us/politics/trump-immigration-children-executive-order.html Mr. Trumps executive order would seek to get around an existing 1997 consent decree, known as the Flores settlement, that prohibits the federal government from keeping children in immigration detention even if they are with their parents for more than 20 days. My knowledge here is admittedly limited. But wouldn't that same settlement prevent him from holding the children in the concentration camps anyway? Of course, he's a guy who hates listening to anything a court has to say. So I'm just not sure how his solution is much of anything, besides slightly less cruel. --- ~Peaf~ ... Copied to Clipboard! |
