(12,600 posts)He'll get his photo op holding the document up like a five year old showing his mommie his latest drawing, but what's actually written on it will be as worthless as the paper he and Kim Yung Un signed in Singapore.
Unless the document contains words to the effect of, "All children currently in the care of HHS will be reunited with their parents," the paper is worth nothing.
The U.S. does not hold children and babies (!) in internment camps.

President Trump is preparing to issue an executive order as soon as Wednesday that ends the separation of families at the border by indefinitely detaining parents and children together, according to a person familiar with the White House plans.

(7,819 posts)that a bottom line problem here? When they try to prosecute and bring a case to court, won't the judge just throw it out?
And even crossings between points of entry are misdemeanors, correct? Do you detain and then prosecute in court for misdemeanors?
Just like everything, so much confusion of issues, facts, resolution.
