Lawmakers Plan: Children and Tolerance Policy

lawmakers plan: Parents and children were being detained separately, according to CTV. But after public outcry, U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday ordered that they be brought back together. More than 2,300 children were taken from their families in recent weeks under a Trump administration zero tolerance policy in which people entering the U.S. illegally face being prosecuted. Confusion has ensued, with parents left searching for their children. The Democratic lawmakers plan to visit detention facilities in McAllen and Los Fresnos. Events planned include a rally Saturday in Fort Worth, where the Texas Democratic Convention is being held, and a protest in Homestead, Florida. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
