President Donald Trump has for months urged his administration to reinstate large-scale separation of migrant families crossing the border, according to three U.S. officials with knowledge of meetings at the White House.

According to two of the sources, Nielsen told Trump that federal court orders prohibited the Department of Homeland Security from reinstating the policy and that he would be reversing his own executive order from June that ended family separation.

Trump has been pushing this policy since January, the sources said, when the numbers of undocumented immigrants crossing the border began to rise.

A senior administration official said they believe Trump is convinced that family separation has been the most effective policy at deterring large numbers of asylum seekers

Now why know why Nielsen is resigning

 

[Hollywood Duo]

I'm sure that would go over great

Weird that he now supports an Obama policy

 

[Hey Please]

Here's a cunt that conflates Asylum seekers with illegal immigrants. So this both horrendous and unsurprising.

Like talking to a literal child. Anyone that is okay with this presidency at this point is either uninformed or intentionally malicious.

But it wasn't a policy!

Spoiler

I really hate that man.

 

[Netherscourge]

He wants to use it as a threat and punishment for immigrants. He doesn't care about protecting children.

 

[Strike]

Those damn Democrats forcing him to do this.

Damnit, this is a serious issue. Why'd you have to make me laugh!?

For real though, disgusting that he wants it started again. It's a good thing this administration is awful at getting anything done.

The Family Separation policy was part of Jeff Sesson's Zero Tolerance Policy implemented last year.
