.@ACLU said yesterday that the Trump admin separated 1,556 more immigrant children from their parents at the border than was previously disclosed, including more than 200 children under 5.
This summer, @carriecordero, @HeidiLiFeldman & @KeitnerLaw set out to survey all of the law relevant to the Trump administration's implementation of the family separation policy.
"We concluded that diverse legal grounds all indicate the unlawfulness of family separation as a policy tool for deterring immigration."

Their findings are available in a new article, titled "The Law Against Family Separation." You can read a preview here justsecurity.org/66717/assessin…

#Thread Why President Trump Should End Birthright Citizenship for Illegal Immigrants:

First we begin with the brilliant @KrisKobach1787 in 2011 on the O'Reily Factor, laying out the legal case to End Birthright Citizenship for Illegal Immigrants 1/
"The notion that simply being born within the geographical limits of the United States automatically confers U.S. citizenship is an absurdity — historically, constitutionally, philosophically and practically." - Michael Anton 2/ washingtonpost.com/opinions/citiz…
"Some will argue that the Supreme Court has already settled this issue, establishing birthright citizenship in United States v. Wong Kim Ark. But this is wrong. The court has ruled only that children of LEGAL residents are citizens." - Michael Anton 3/ washingtonpost.com/opinions/citiz…

#Thread If I were Obama.
If I was Obama on January 5, 2017 sitting in the WH meeting with my AG, FBI, DOJ, Perkins Coie Counsel, WH counsel, ODNI, CIA etc.. with a portfolio of data we manufactured, collated, paid for and collected and an EO I had just singed in Dec of 2016 (1)
An Executive Order that makes it the law of the land "Taking Additional Steps to Address the National Emergency With Respect to Significant Malicious Cyber-Enabled Activities" calling our #russia and all the entities we referenced in our "Portfolio" (2)

A portfolio we had in our hands that was lack luster, circular and completely manufactured... If I was Obama I would gear up and call upon all those "of our unique and comprehensive system of alliances and partnerships" to join me. To join me (3)
