Never called Trump Hitler. I called him a fucking retard, which he is, in point of fact.
The separation might have been lawful. The laws in place that allow it were supposed to be applied when there was a perceived threat to the child. Starting with Trump's policy, they applied that to every single child that crossed the border. Even if it's not illegal it's a misuse of power. What was ruled to be unlawful was the indefinite detention of children who crossed the border with a guardian. The reunification was court ordered. If the federal courts didn't step in, thousands of children would still be separated.
So it was an unlawful separation of children from their parents without the parents consent. We can call it that, but abduction is a lot shorter.

I see we're splitting hairs about words and definitions today. And we're being precise, and factual right?

So what's Trump's IQ?

The separation might have been lawful.

No, we're being precise today oskar. The separations ARE lawful.

The laws in place that allow it were supposed to be applied when there was a perceived threat to the child.

Mom and dad are going to jail. Is that a threat to the child?

Starting with Trump's policy, they applied that to every single child that crossed the border.

No, just the ones that came over illegally

Even if it's not illegal it's a misuse of power.

No, it absolutely isn't. Learn fucking democracy dude. Seriously, this is getting old. The mandate from the electorate was to enact a zero-tolerance border policy. Abiding my a democratic mandate is probably the furthest thing from an abuse of power.

you know what's an abuse of power.....when one single, solitary, left leaning, politically biased activist judge upends the entire democratic process and says "you can't do that anymore.....cuz racism"

What was ruled to be unlawful was the indefinite detention of children who crossed the border with a guardian. The reunification was court ordered.

Misuse of power

If the federal courts didn't step in, thousands of children would still be separatedcriminals would still be in jail

Fixed your post

So it was an unlawful separation of children from their parents without the parents consent.

What the living fuck Oskar. Seriously. What the holy hell here? Unlawful?? But didn't you just say......

The separation might have been lawful.

Cmon dude....get smarter. You can't just go flip flopping your opinions, changing the definition of words, and ignoring democracy just so you can adapt to whatever anti-Trump idea Vox spoon-feeds you. Have some conviction. Act like a god damn man!
