Trump Admin (Stephen Miller) plots new scheme to rip immigrant families apart

https://shareblue.com/trump-new-scheme-immigration-family-separation/

There is no end to Trump's cruelty.

Trump’s family separation policy was an unmitigated moral catastrophe — so naturally, the Trump White House is talking about reviving it.

The White House is actively considering plans that could again separate parents and children at the U.S.-Mexico border,” reports the Washington Post.

The move to reintroduce a policy former CIA Director General Michael Hayden compared to Nazi Germany comes from Stephen Miller, one of Trump’s most viciously racist and anti-immigrant advisers.

Miller has so much contempt for immigrants that he once attacked the Statue of Liberty. His fringe xenophobic views are so reprehensible, even his own family has condemned him for them
.


According to the Post, there have been several high-level meetings at the White House about bringing back the cruel policy with only a few minor tweaks.

One option would be to detain parents with children for the legally allowed 20-day limit, and then force parents to make a heart-wrenching decision:
Remain together as a family in a government detention facility for months or years waiting for their immigration case to move forward, or volunteer to be separated from their child so that other relatives or guardians in the United States can seek custody.


The original policy, which drew massive protests and generated worldwide condemnation in the summer of 2018, introduced the world to the term “tender age facilities,” the euphemistic term used to describe baby jails.
