Thank you, AG Sessions and President Trump, for killing any sense of pride I had left.
Apparently we have to keep babies and children in cages longer than the lawful 72 hours, because we don't have the capacity to hold them in the "proper” detention facilities. Sessions blamed a surge in asylum seekers rather than the arbitrary zero tolerance policy mandated by Trump. Remember, these aren't just illegals... these are asylum seekers being separated from their children at the border. The latest plan is to start holding these kids on military bases.
One US Senator attempted to enter a facility and confirm the condition of children (some under 2 years old) detained longer than 72 hours, behind bars, away from their parents. He was denied entry, as ICE is afraid of photos of babies behind bars making their way to the media.
The UN High Commissioner has accused the US of violating basic human rights. Strongmen Putin, Maduro, KJU and Duterte would be proud.
But hey, Trump voters, you just go on claiming the moral high ground for being pro life. Assholes.
