In April of this year, Jeff Sessions and Secretary Nielsen declared that the Department of Justice and Homeland Security would separate immigrant children from their parents. Since that time, they have created 2,000 orphans, generating an anguish that could only please the devil and his minions.

This is being done in the name of the United States of America. In our name.

The executive order signed today is an evil response to the cries of children captured on audio tape this past week–keeping families together in indefinite incarceration offends every ethical and moral norm of this nation.
