The Trump administration is keeping families together. In immigration detention. Indefinitely.
And they’re arguing that a court order preventing family separation gives them the legal power to do so.
In federal court Friday night, Trump’s Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, filed an announcement that it is now keeping families in detention “during the pendency of” their immigration cases. That could easily mean months of detention (or longer) for some asylum-seekers — or, alternatively, a form of “assembly-line justice” that moves families’ cases through too quickly to allow for real due process.
The administration was already trying to get the courts and Congress to approve indefinite family detention, by overruling a 2015 order (made as part of the “Flores settlement”) that prevented children from being kept in immigration detention with their parents for more than 20 days.
But the administration now claims that a more recent court ruling — the order by U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw on Tuesday that barred the administration from splitting up any more families and ordered them to reunite the 2,000 remaining separated ones within 30 days — means that they are now allowed to detain thousands of families in temporary facilities for as long as it takes to either grant them legal status or (the administration’s preference) deport them. vox.com/2018/6/30/17520820/families-together-detention-separate-camp-military

Did liberals seriously think that an end to the separation policy meant replacing it with an open door?
Logan Walker
They should be kicked out into no mans land with no support until their case can be heard. Too bad if they happen to drop dead in the meantime.

When the citizens/people of the united states corperation refer to "god" in the context of the pledge of alliegence it is actually in reference the the acrynoym "god" which stands for As they are pledging alliegence to everything their corperation stands for, under the authority of great britan and the EU/(((fake isreal))). I'm preety sure you too have pledged alliegence to guns, oil, and drugs at some point user.

And these people are actually being treated HUMANELY compared to what Mexico would do to illegal immigrants.
Which is either being shot, used as drug mules or both.
Fun fact 1: the Pledge of Allegiance was a marketing ploy to sell flags to schools. You might as well recite "two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun." It's a goddamn slogan.
Fun fact 2: the "under God" bit was added in the 1950s, and it's downright retarded because it's an old expression that means "God willing" or "hopefully" - and that's how it was used in the original context (Lincoln's Gettysburg Address). It does not mean the nation is, or should be, religious at all. So in the pledge, it doesn't even make sense.
