For a little over a month, @realDonaldTrump’s family separation policy has resulted in >2,300 children separated from their families. After wks of acting like his admin bore no responsibility for the policy, contravening all fact & reality, I hope this represents a turning point.
I hope this means @realDonaldTrump will stop blaming others for problems he creates & start fixing them himself. He may have signed his executive order, but we have even more questions:
The way the executive order was drafted means that it will not go into effect until a court rules on its legality. What is @realDonaldTrump's policy on family separation in the meantime? Will he continue to insist that these heartbreaking separations continue?
What is the admin's plan to reunite the children already separated from their families? The EO is silent on that. How many facilities are these kids in now? What is their condition? Why hasn’t the media been allowed in to see and verify that the conditions are humane?
.@realDonaldTrump hasn’t taken care of the problem, not by any stretch of the imagination. But now that he’s finally admitted that his administration does have the power to take action, I urge him to address these serious, unresolved issues.
