That was a federal consent decree and it can't be just negated by a rule change. This action will be challenged in court, but clearly it's intended as another instance of abuse of migrants as a deterrent. https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/trump-administration-moves-to-terminate-court-agreement-hold-migrant-children-and-parents-longer/2019/08/21/c268bb44-c28b-11e9-9986-1fb3e4397be4_story.html

Time to give more money to the ACLU. Any other groups involved in fighting these monsters in the courts?

Unfettered profits for DeVos and drumpf are not in our country's best interests when they are obtained from stealing childdren & selling them off in secret and giving themselves millions of dollars per day for doing torturing children & adults by keeping them penned in cages like animals and providing no sleeping space, no way to keep clean and no/awful food, along with no healthcare and no one caring for the babies at all.

administration are voted out and every hideous, petty anti-humanity change has been reversed/repaired/rejected, there will be irreparable damage done to the United States and millions of lives will have been permanently damaged in the ripple affect.

We are caught in such a numbing, monstrous web by these vipers that use this utterly degenerate ogre-buffoon to further their drippingly vile agenda, I begin to question if I actually will see an end to the devastation in my lifetime.

The hideousness permeates every single day. There is a blankness lurking in every aware adults’ eyes, like we all have been daily tazed to the soul and are emotionally incapacitated.

In just 2 1/2 years.

Jaysus, the demise of this Republican Party and obliteration of the scum associated with it cannot come soon enough. He and They Must Go.
