What more should we expect from an Administration based on Lies after heartless Lies — even their EO’s have fingers-crossed, just-kidding, invisible-ink escape clauses attached to them ...
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Thursday said that Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen has privately told lawmakers that the Trump administration's family separation practice could resume despite the president signing an executive order to end the practice.

“Secretary Nielsen privately told lawmakers the Administration may go back to separating children from their parents,” Schiff tweeted.
“Congress must ensure that NEVER happens. I'm urging the House Appropriations Committee to prevent funds from ever being used to separate families entering the US.”

Never again. Never again must we allow the Trump wrecking crew anywhere close to the levers of Government (at election time). Not only are they evil personified, they also have no problem with Lying as a matter of policy, and breaking American Laws as a matter of course:
The United States recognizes the right of asylum for individuals as specified by international and federal law. [...]
The United States is obliged to recognize valid claims for asylum under the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol. [...]
This commitment was codified and expanded with the passing of the Refugee Act of 1980 by the United States Congress. Besides reiterating the definitions of the 1951 Convention and its Protocol, the Refugee Act provided for the establishment of an Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to help refugees begin their lives in the U.S. The structure and procedures evolved and by 2004, federal handling of refugee affairs was led by the Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) of the U.S. Department of State, working with the ORR at HHS. Asylum claims are mainly the responsibility of the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
In other words, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen’s area of ir-responsibility.
Desperate and threatened people have every right to seek Asylum in America. This is something that America once acknowledged and respectfully processed, as a basic Human Right.
That is until the the Trump “Zero Humanity” wrecking crew came to town — and just starting parroting the refrains: ‘I’m just following orders’ … ‘Treat them like free-loading animals.’
Americans can now look forward to Executive Orders not worth the squishy paper their written on, apparently — according to the insider-scoop from the Secretary of the Homeland Security:
Remember that day we “stopped” doing Family Separations — Just Kidding! We didn’t say “how long” we would stop for ...
