Is the family separation policy alive and well -- you, know, the one that got President Trump is such trouble months ago? Is the Trump Administration persisting, anyway? Did it say it would stop, but hasn't?
No less than about 2,300 teens are being held at a closely guarded site in Tornillo, Texas. And, read this from The Associated Press story, "federal immigration policies have resulted in the detention of a record 14,000 migrant children, filling shelter beds around the country to capacity."
I read the story hurriedly this afternoon, and it was not until just now, when I came back to capture the above quote, that I noticed the next sentence. "Almost all the teens at Tornillo came on their own hoping to join family members in the United States."
No, this might not be the separating of children from their parents as they both arrive at the border. Still, it is a separation, and one wonders about the worthiness of it. Is separating children from their parents and/or family ever a good thing?
We should go back to the judge's ruling, and read it, and see if it applies.
