The media and Democrats have been accusing Trump and his administration of choosing the policy of separating children from their families at the border, all for political leverage.
But in a piece about the executive order Trump is to sign today, the NY Times admitsthat it’s because of a 1997 court case:
"Mr. Trump’s executive order would seek to get around an existing 1997 consent decree, known as the Flores settlement, that prohibits the federal government from keeping children in immigration detention — even if they are with their parents — for more than 20 days."
But…but…I thought Trump was lying about this, that he and his evil minions were just doing this to force Democrats to give him a wall!
The NY Times finally admits the truth about child separations at the border!
