The Dallas News reports:
Sen. Ted Cruz defended the Trump administration’s policy of separating parents from children when they’re caught crossing the border illegally, saying that while such cases can be tragic, it’s “inevitable” when people violate U.S. law.
“There’s actually a court order that prevents keeping the kids with the parents when you put the parents in jail. So when you see reporters, when you see Democrats saying don’t separate kids from their parents, what they’re really saying is don’t arrest illegal aliens,” Cruz told KERA, the Dallas public radio station, in an interview that aired Monday afternoon.
The “zero tolerance” policy has been controversial since the Trump administration announced it last month. Thousands of families have been affected, with condemnation pouring in from south of the border and across the world, and from Democrats.
A public defender in McAllen, Texas said some migrants are told their kids are going to be taken away briefly to bathe, and then “hours later, it dawns on them that their children aren’t coming back” https://t.co/vIfiqjmTMB

Let this sink in: ICE, the New Gestapo, is deceiving children’s parents, telling them they are taking away their children to *bathe* & will return them shortly in order to prevent the parents from objecting. https://t.co/uIFUN6CqIs

If the news broke tomorrow that migrant children and their parents were being exterminated by the Trump administration, would you even be surprised?
They’re already:
– separating parents from their children
– putting children into internment camps
– lying and covering it up— God ? (@TheGoodGodAbove) June 11, 2018
