Official: Trump administration suspending prosecutions of migrant parents

The Trump administration will suspend prosecutions of migrant parents with children who have been apprehended at the border, a top official told The Washington Post on Thursday.

“We’re suspending prosecutions of adults who are members of family units until ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] can accelerate resource capability to allow us to maintain custody,” the official told the Post.

The change in policy comes one day after President Trump signed an executive order to stop separating immigrant children from their parents at the border.

Perhaps we should suspend prosecutions of LEGAL citizens i n the Us for all crimes too IF they have children?

WHAT?! No way, so now illegal alien families can come here and get a pass because they have kids? What about me, do I as a citizen parent get a pass?!

I'll let the dust settle on this before screaming.

What a joke. If you commit a murder in Mexico, just grab a child and run for the USA!! This is bad policy!! Unaccompanied minors must be refoined with their parents in Mexico or returned to the very fine child care facilities paid for by Mexicans.

Has Trump been deceived, or was he deceitful himself on illegals?

"...until ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] can accelerate resource capability to allow us to maintain custody"

I just take this as a pause while they get manpower in place - nothing more...

Sarah Isgur Flores ‏ Verified account @SarahFloresDOJ 12m12 minutes ago The Washington Post never reached out to the Department. Their story is not accurate. There has been no change to the Department’s zero tolerance policy to prosecute adults who cross our border illegally instead of claiming asylum at any port of entry at the border.

“Trump’s order stated that the administration would keep its “zero tolerance” policy on prosecuting those caught illegally crossing the border.:” What happened to that? We go from “Zero” to 100% in one day. This sucks.

Set up ‘holding centers’ in the home countries of ‘illegals’... they can stay at the US Embassy controlled center or be let free (in their home country) until their case is heard.

The key to solving this problem is to take away THE PRIZE - BEING ABLE TO STAY IN THE UNITED STATES.

Keep families together - in their own countries... under the safety of our control.
