Over the past month, the Trump administration has begun to implement a policy that has reportedly led to the forced separation of hundreds of undocumented immigrant parents from their children after theyve arrived together at the U.S. border. This followed reports that a pilot program of such a policy had been undertaken between July and November 2017. Democrats have argued that this apparent practice is cruel, heartless, and betrays our nations deepest values. The ACLU, meanwhile, has argued in court on behalf of separated immigrant families that such a practice would beand isblatantly unconstitutional.
On Wednesday, Dana Sabraw, a federal district court judge in California, issued a stinging rebuke to the governments request to dismiss the ACLUs claim under the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment. He also indicated in his opinion that the government would likely be found to be in violation of the due process rights of these immigrant families. Judge Sabraw resoundingly rejected the argument that the Due Process clause of the Fifth Amendment had not been violated. (Sabraw, a George W. Bush appointee, at the same time accepted the governments motion to dismiss the ACLUs statutory grounds arguments.)

What would be the Remedy?? Let them all loose to roam around the US free if they bring kids with them?
Sound familiar?
Then putting any parent in jail is unconstitutional?
Name one other crime where you get to take your kids with you when you are taken into custody.
Only if they are here illegally. Equal protection only applies to them.
This is how civil wars start.
Send them home.
Ironically they are being separated because previously a lib judge ruled that the kids couldn't be kept in custody with their parents.... now this judge claims (no ruling yet) that separating them is a violation.
Have old school buses ready. Families of caught illegal aliens; La Mamma, El Pappa, and Ninos and Ninas; put on the bus and ICE drives them all to the Mexican border.
Passengers disembark at the border and everyone crosses over.
Cant, only an immigration judge can do that and they are backlogged

LOL. Yes...the courts separate families all the time. Judge is idiot.
Yet another nitwit ruling from an overreaching nitwit.
Some parents have willingly separated from their children, deliberately sending them across the border from faraway places.

Part of the ninth circus.
Used to do emergency foster care where we would pick up the kids on short notice, sometimes at social services and sometimes at the police station. It was tough on the kids; they didn't want to be there but with their parents arrested it was about the only option. Those were American adults arrested on serious charges and you had to find somewhere for the kids right now. Social Services would usually find family or a long term home for them or maybe the parents would be out on bail in a day or two.
Nobody is happy about the situation but when their criminal parents are taken into custody you do what you have to do. If their criminal parents hadn't gotten them into that situation in the first place, the children wouldn't be in that jam.
One more idiot libtard judge making decisions not based on law but his own "feelings". Disgusting.
Dubya was a nice enough fella. Problem is he has this unerring gift for choosing the wrong people. He picked the wrong guys to lead Afghanistan and Iraq. He also picked the wrong guy to head up FEMA. And it’s clear he picked the wrong guy to become a Federal District Judge here.
However, separating white families like Randy Weaver’s, by brain-shooting the mom? Totally Constitutional. I tell you, we are in the last days of this Republic as it existed at the turn of the century.
