[Rhiannon12866]

John Oliver discusses the disturbing policy that separated migrant families detained at our southern border, and the disturbingly real chance that it could happen again.

1. Bravo to John for following up on this story.

[Rhiannon12866]

11. I know!

He's said he doesn't like talking about Trump, instead he focuses on stories we're not hearing about in the age of Trump. His deplorable antics dominate every news cycle so there's no time left for normally important news!

12. Yes, too often important stories and issues are overshadowed by the rapiding changing news.

Glad John is staying on this one.

[Rhiannon12866]

13. I agree. Of all the deplorable things Trump has done, this has got to be the worst.

As that clueless woman said, many of these children are scarred for life. And how many are still out there without their families?? This truly boggles the mind- that this is actually happening in this country! But there are so many stories that go under the radar these days because Trump keeps committing yet another offense!

2. That was hard to watch

ouch. That poor kid and his mother.

3. Watch this as often as it was on tonight.

This is a crime against humanity. King con should be impeached for this. How many laws has this ass broken since January, 2017?

4. Getting ready to watch that with my morning coffee

I have the day off

5. Thank you, John

That was heart-breaking but so much that needed to be said.

[Moostache]

6. Absolutely!

If ANYONE mentions immigration to me in the next 24 hours I am going to unload on them with everything I have...this evil MUST be stopped and it must be stopped NOW!!!!

7. Brilliantly done and needed moral clarity

So upsetting that people who support trump can and do ignore this.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. I couldn't agree more. Kudos to John for returning to this terrible issue

Which has been largely overlooked with all the election coverage.

9. One of his best!

Superb.

[Rhiannon12866]

14. He's really doing a great job focusing on the important stories overlooked by the news these days

Trump and his bizarre and offensive behavior sucks up all the available air time.

10. Nothing about this is funny in the least. There are more ICE vid on youtube

showing weeping children and parents getting separated. It makes one hate Trump and the people supporting this agenda. I hope the Amish form a caravan heading to DC. Trump encourages hate and fear. Have no mercy for Trump when he goes to prison for his many crimes.
