OFFICIAL POLICY HAS LOST OVER 1500 CHILDREN.

Our friend @ManInTheHoody created this thread of cruel Trump administration policies that hurt children, including a petition to stop U.S. Customs and Border Protection from abusing immigrant children:
We must #AbolishICE and replace it:
1) ICE was a weapon waiting for a tyrant.
2) Anyone who commits a crime should go through due process as outlined in our Constitution. ICE changed that.
3) ICE was designed without accountability.

UNDER TRUMP POLICY, ICE IS SEPARATING FIFTY CHILDREN FROM THEIR PARENTS EVERY DAY.
The “horrible law that separates children from there parents” is not a law. It’s a policy that was put in place by Attorney General Jeff Sessions in April 2018 under orders from President Trump, and either of them can change the policy anytime they choose.
Trump’s child separation policy is a moral and constitutional abomination.
Congress must put a stop to Trump’s policy of separating parents from children.

How We Can Reform ICE, by @Ocasio2018:
1. We must #AbolishICE. Its very structure is an undemocratic, authoritarian weapon.
2. Replace ICE with an updated INS-like structure that employs our existing court system to handle crimes.

“Cruelty is both the means and the end. It’s the thread that runs through ICE’s strategy of instilling terror in immigrant communities, Department of Homeland Security’s restrictive approach to refugees and asylum-seekers, the White House’s decision to…”
“Cruelty is [Trump’s reason behind] the White House’s decision to rescind temporary protected status for hundreds of thousands of settled immigrants, Sessions’s decision to reopen 350,000 cases for potential deportation, and much more.” #AbolishICE

ICE is Trump’s personal bullying squad:
IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO SEEK ASYLUM:
There is no law that requires separating children from their parents. That is Trump’s cruel decision.

“Trump is taking child hostages to deter others and get his wall. Are we waiting for the hot Texas sun to kill a child in a tent? If his harming kids doesn’t move us, nothing will. This is the moment of truth and we are failing.”
Child separation is happening BEFORE the decision to prosecute, per Trump orders.
Repeat: THERE ARE PARENTS BEING RIPPED AWAY FROM THEIR CHILDREN WHO AREN’T EVEN BEING PROSECUTED.

Does President Trump make FLOTUS give speeches about kindness and compassion to distract us from his policies that traumatize children and hurt asylum seekers?
REPEAT:
“If Trump can deny due process to those allegedly here unlawfully, ICE can grab YOU, allege you aren’t a citizen, and deport you without a hearing.”
