Ripping screaming children, some as young as one year, from the arms of their terrified parents (who are presenting themselves to border officers at official ports of entry to request asylum, NOT the ones who sneak across the border or unaccompanied children) began under TRUMP and is utterly unprecedented and viciously, maliciously cruel.
To emphasize: we are NOT talking about parents who sneaked across the border illegally. We are talking about parents who went to legitimate border crossings, official points of entry, and presented themselves to border officers as refugees requesting asylum.
This is a standard, LEGAL procedure, and such parents have NEVER been separated from their children before, ever. Even if they were detained for processing, previously the families were kept intact.
