By ending such a policy, Attorney General Jeff Session indicated that the White Business firm would be putting in identify a naught-tolerance rule that would prosecute adults at the border and, in consequence, would divide parents from children, placing both in different detention centers while they awaited trial.[two] The Houston Relate wrote:

"The Houston Relate has identified 22 cases since June [2017] in which parents like Mejia with no history of immigration violations were prosecuted for the misdemeanor crime of improper entry and had their children removed. Minors cannot be kept in federal prison.

On May 7th, 2018 Attorney Full general Jeff Sessions announced that naught tolerance enforcement had gone into effect, stating that there would be 100 percent prosecution of people entering the United states of america illegally.[half-dozen] He said, "If you lot are smuggling a child then we will prosecute you, and that child will be separated from you every bit required by police. If you don't like that, and then don't smuggle children over our edge."

"The audio obtained past ProPublica breaks that silence. Information technology was recorded last week within a U.S. Customs and Border Protection detention facility.

That person gave the audio to Jennifer Harbury, a well-known ceremonious rights attorney who has lived and worked for four decades in the Rio Grande Valley along the Texas border with Mexico. Harbury provided it to ProPublica. She said the person who recorded it was a client who 'heard the children's weeping and crying, and was devastated past it.'

"The person estimated that the children on the recording are betwixt 4 and 10 years old. It appeared that they had been at the detention heart for less than 24 hours, and then their distress at having been separated from their parents was still raw. Consulate officials tried to comfort them with snacks and toys. Only the children were comfortless."

That day, Splinter News writer Jorge Rivas tweeted[20] a video of reporters listening to the audio.

Executive Gild

On June 20th, President Trump said that he would exist signing an executive lodge which would ban the practice of separating families at the border. According to the New York Times,[35] "Mr. Trump's executive guild would seek to become effectually an existing 1997 consent prescript, known as the Flores settlement, that prohibits the federal authorities from keeping children in immigration detention -- fifty-fifty if they are with their parents -- for more than 20 days."

In response to President Trump's announcement, American Civil Liberties Union[36] Executive Director Anthony D. Romero released a argument:

"President Trump has been brought to his knees because of the lawsuit nosotros filed on February 26 and the ensuing public outcry. Kids should not accept been separated from their parents in the start place and they still don't belong in jail. His alleged solution to a crunch of his ain making is many months too late. It is a crunch that should non have happened to begin with. He has caused irreparable damage to thousands of immigrant families.

"The devil is in the details. This crunch will not abate until each and every single child is reunited with his or her parent. An eleventh-60 minutes executive society doesn't fix the calamitous harm done to thousands of children and their parents. This executive order would supplant one crisis for another. Children don't belong in jail at all, even with their parents, under any set of circumstances. If the president thinks placing families in jail indefinitely is what people have been asking for, he is grossly mistaken."

That day, Trump signed the executive order that aimed to cease the use of family separation in lieu of detaining parents and children together for an indefinite flow of time. However, the executive order may face legal scrutiny as a 1997 court ruling may not allow the Trump administration to concord families for more than than twenty days. Additionally, the executive order does not accost how the Trump administration will handle the more than 2,300 children who have already been separated from their parents.[39]

The executive order was criticized by many. Old Director of U.Due south. Office of Government Ethics Walter Schaub tweeted,[40] "BOTTOM LINE: 1. THE CHILDREN Take NOT BEEN RETURNED 2. THE SEPARATIONS HAVE Not STOPPED YET 3. LOOPHOLES IN THE EXECUTIVE ORDER CREATE WIGGLE ROOM TO Do Information technology AGAIN iv.

The Willners wrote of the campaign:

"We are raising money for RAICES (https://world wide web.facebook.com/raicestexas), the largest immigration legal services provider in Texas. For years, RAICES has been working with some of the nigh vulnerable members of our society to ensure they receive advancement and off-white legal representation. They have ii fundamental goals at this time: directly fund bail to permit parents to reclaim their detained children, and ensure legal representation for every separated family and every unaccompanied child in Texas' clearing courts (last year, 76% of kids (over 13,000!) did non have representation)

"You may have heard the news that the president will sign an executive society today to reunite families. We are hopeful that the president will stop family separation, but that doesn't mean our work is over or that our focus can become elsewhere. A change in policy doesn't automatically bring babies back to their mothers or erase the trauma from these innocent kids. RAICES' work becomes more important than always."
