Trump admin wants ability to hold migrant kids indefinitely, upending decades-old ban

[phands]

Every day a new low....

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration announced a new rule Thursday that would allow immigrant children with their parents to be held in detention indefinitely, upending a ban on indefinite detention that has been in place for 20 years.


The rule, proposed by the departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services, goes into effect in 60 days and will allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to keep children with their mothers in detention facilities while their cases for asylum play out in court.


A DHS official said the average length of stay for adults with pending court cases is currently 39 days. However, court backlogs can drag out the time an immigrant must wait in detention for a court hearing.


Until now, children have been released with their parents after 20 days. Earlier this year, the Trump administration sought to get around that rule by separating parents from their children and holding parents in detention while children were placed in the care of HHS.

Soooo... the MAGA crowd don't like dirty f'rners coming to this country and getting to live off of the governments social programs (welfare, food stamps, etc..) So the solution is to take their kids away indefinitely... which means the government is now responsible for their welfare, meaning the government will have to pay for their food, housing, clothing, healthcare, schooling, etc...

Trump is keeping all the little girls in a sex-slave dungeon under the WH and doesn't want to let them go!
