As the White House faces court orders to reunite families separated at the border, immigrant children as young as 3 are being ordered into court for their own deportation proceedings, according to attorneys in Texas, California and Washington, D.C....

“We were representing a 3-year-old in court recently who had been separated from the parents. And the child — in the middle of the hearing — started climbing up on the table,” said Lindsay Toczylowski, executive director of Immigrant Defenders Law Center in Los Angeles. “It really highlighted the absurdity of what we’re doing with these kids.”

Fox News Commentator Quits Over Trump's Zero Tolerance Policy

An excerpt from his open letter to Fox News:

Quite simply, the position Fox has taken on our government’s policy of separating children from their parents is too heinous for me to accept.

Ann Coulter claimed that videos of crying children feature “child actors.”

Sean Hannity suggested that these children are part of a “rolling invasion” of our country.

And more than one announcer has suggested that these kids are actually better off in cages than they were with their parents. One heartless commentator dared say locking innocent children away was like “sending the kids to camp.”

Accepting that this misguided policy is wrong doesn’t depend on which side of the political aisle you’re on. It doesn’t matter if you support immigration and immigrants or if you don’t. And it doesn’t matter if you believe the law — or the Bible — gives our government the right to do what they’re doing or not. Separating innocent children from their parents and jailing them is just plain wrong.

President Trump’s nominee to lead the United Nations migration agency has been knocked out of the race, the Associated Press reported Friday.

Ken Isaacs came in third behind Antonio Vitorino of Portugal and Laura Thompson of Costa Rica in a vote by delegates in Geneva.

The loss breaks a decades-long streak of Americans leading the UN's International Organization for Migration (IOM).

Isaacs had come under fire for a number of anti-Muslim comments he has made in the past.

A CNN report in March highlighted a number of anti-Muslim comments Isaacs made from 2015-2017.

One comment included Isaacs pushing back on a Catholic bishop on a CNN report following a terrorist attack in the U.K. The bishop said that terrorism is not “what the Muslim faith asks people to do.”

Isaacs responded to the report with a comment saying bishop saying that terrorism is not “what the Muslim faith asks people to do” by saying, “CNN, Bishop if you read the Quran you will know ‘this’ is exactly what the Muslim faith instructs the faithful to do.”...

The Trump administration stood by their nominee after the posts resurfaced.

State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert told The Washington Post in February that the administration believed Isaacs would still serve with “dignity and respect” as head of the IOM.

The USA has gone from being a "shining city on a hill" to a cesspool of vile, racist incompetence.

Government never had specific plan to reunify families, court testimony shows

Small wonder Donny hates the real press so much. They show the complete and utter incompetence of his hateful administration.

This one is criminal incompetence. They had an absolute duty to take every care to provide for reunification. I again say that this failure is a Crime Against Humanity.
