➡️ 6 of 2,816 *separated kids* "not eligible" to release
➡️ 87 weren't separated from parent, parent is danger, or declined reunification
Add...
FYI: The Trump admin has quietly resumed separating immigrant families at the border.

At one agency, the children were put into temporary foster care and shelters with little or no indication that they arrived at the border with their parents: propub.li/2QcsPvY
Add...
Reminder: The Trump administration is systematically locking up thousands of children at unheard of rates - now almost 15,000 are in U.S. custody.

The government classifies these children as "unaccompanied"

Thousands more kids may have been separated from their parents at the border under the Trump administration than was previously thought, according to an internal government report.

Day 197 since Trump was implicated as an unindicted co-conspirator in violating federal campaign finance laws to keep affairs quiet.

Add...
Day 89 since US Justice Department prosecutors say Trump committed a felony.

Yet, no subpoena, no indictment, no impeachment.

Which begs the question: Is Trump above the law?

WH rejects Elijah Cummings’ request for information about specific details about the security clearance process and Kushner’s clearance - and Cummings says he will now decide next steps. Here’s the WH letter: oversight.house.gov/sites/democrat…

Cummings: "The White House's argument defies the Constitutional separation of powers, decades of precedent before this Committee, and just plain common-sense. 

The W.H. security clearance system is broken, and it needs both congressional oversight and legislative reform."
