Trump Administration Continues to Lie about Family Separation
President Donald Trump is lying when he says family separation is required by the laws on the books. As fact-checkers at the Washington Post and elsewhere have concluded, there is simply NO law that requires family separation. What is causing children to be taken from their parents is the deliberate choice—the Trump Administration’s “zero tolerance” policy—to prosecute asylum seeking families at the border for illegal entry.
I guess the Judiciary Chief of Staff is too damn terrified of his future to do his job and do fact checking. Once again, I will do the work for them. Here is the law the Trump Administration is following.
