What is illegal about this? I think this is perfectly legal. ICE policies are the domain of the Executive branch and Trump is the leader of the Executive.
Making an Executive decision that when families are caught trying to sneak into the country that they shall be detained as a family, and not broken up, seems very reasonable and humane. It is, imo, the right thing to do.
Which is not to say I agreed with the ridiculous, over the top, sensational hyperbolic demagoguery of the MSM. ICE was simply following the policies that have been in place a long time, the same policies they had during the Obama admin. Trump is fixing a problem that Obama failed to fix. I am 100% in favor of keeping families united whenever possible. In this case they will be detained together, and often returned together as a unit. That is the humane, ethical, moral thing to do.
So I applaud this move. And I want to see the MSM eat crow over it. The Trump talking points are easy to write - he is going to say that ICE had been following the Obama/Clinton policy of breaking up families and as soon as he learned he could fix this outrageous policy he took immediate action to end it. MSM has no choice but to either ignore it and re-program the week, or to give Trump the kudos he deserves.
“then, a President can send us all to concentration camps for being Christians.”
How does that work when all the agents sent to round us up are dead or hiding in holes?
