The U.S. government told a federal judge (click here) Tuesday that it might separate detained immigrant families by continuing to hold parents after another federal judge ordered their children released because of the spreading coronavirus pandemic.
U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg of Washington, D.C., gave the Trump administration until Thursday to decide whether it would oppose a similar order releasing parents and set a hearing for Monday.
Boasberg held a hearing and set the schedule after U.S. District Judge Dolly M. Gee of Los Angeles ordered U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on June 26 to release children from three family residential centers by July 17, a week from Friday....
The idea a child would be separated from their parents is still a level of cruelty, hence, incompetency of this administration. To DECIDE if children can be separated from their parents is a delaying tactic against a judicial decision. Trump's pathology is evident in parsing the words of a judge. CHILDREN BELONG TO PARENTS.

Large numbers of them were confined to overcrowded cages inside detention centers, without access to basic hygienic materials, enough food and water, or adequate medical attention, according to Human Rights Watch. Six children died in Border Patrol’s custody between September 2018 and May 2019 — a horrifyingly high number, particularly when you consider that the previous decade saw no fatalities.
In short, the Trump administration created a humanitarian crisis, but even that was not enough to move Katie Miller, the spokesperson for Vice-President Mike Pence and spouse to rumored white nationalist Stephen Miller. She reportedly told NBC News reporter Jacob Soboroff that the Department of Homeland Security dispatched her to the camps in a misguided effort to up her empathy quotient. According to Miller, it didn't work....
