Trump screwed up. He stated he would send asylum seekers to the cities. Barr is satisfying right wing extremist voters. Just that simple. There is no real basis for this except the headlines.
We already know the asylum seekers have a legitimate standing for their plea for protection. This is egregious and lacks a humanitarian basis.

The difference between Trump policies and the reasons they left their original countries is certain death at the hand of drug cartels. Otherwise, the inhumanity is the same and from my window on the world is illegal under USA asylum laws.
As a matter of fact, I believe the press is missing the point with this AG. With "W" the damage to the DOJ was easy to see. He fired US Attorneys. Barr isn't interested in firing them, just sitting on their necks and manipulating the outcomes of their work. I would think that is especially true in the Southern District of New York.
Barr and Guiliani, a tag team made in hell. One lies and the other swears to it.
