However, that is not what Trump was tweeting about and nor what they piece was fact checking. It is the accelerated rate of the separations as a result of the zero tolerance policy put in place in April.

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, more than 650 children were separated from the parents at the border during a two-week period in May.


FACT CHECK: Are Democrats Responsible For DHS Separating Children From Their Parents?
May 29, 20184:02 PM ET
BRIAN NAYLOR


Over Memorial Day weekend, President Trump tweeted that people should "put pressure on the Democrats to end the horrible law that separates children from there parents once they cross the Border into the U.S."

The president implied that children were being separated from their parents at the border because of a law enacted by Democrats.

Actually, the policy in question was enacted by his own administration.

On May 7, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a speech that "If you're smuggling a child, then we're going to prosecute you, and that child will be separated from you, probably, as required by law. If you don't want your child separated, then don't bring them across the border illegally. It's not our fault that somebody does that."

Sessions announced the policy in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Under U.S. law, entering the country illegally is a crime. The Trump administration has decreed that such attempts will be prosecuted, meaning the adults are detained, and any children who accompany them are separated.

White House chief of staff John Kelly told NPR's John Burnett earlier this month that "the children will be taken care of — put into foster care or whatever. But the big point is they elected to come illegally into the United States and this is a technique that no one hopes will be used extensively or for very long. "

Advocates note that many families attempting to enter the U.S. are seeking asylum from gangs and criminal activities in their home countries, and as such are not breaking the law. The U.S. is obligated to accept asylum-seekers under U.S. and international law if they can show a "credible fear" of persecution or torture.

NEWS FLASH: The parents that bring them or let them go to the US are responsible for what happens to them. The law is the law no matter which party does or does not approve of it.

International law is non binding. A country can choose to observe or not observe it. National security is more important than international law.

28 FBI agents drop Hillary investigation BOMBSHELL

Quote:
A legal subpoena is not usually something a person wants to see cross their desk. But according to Fox News’ Sean Hannity and investigative journalist Sara Carter, up to 28 current FBI agents are asking to be legally put on the record so they can expose FBI corruption during the 2016 investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s illegal email server.

Dozens of disgruntled FBI agents are eager to tell their story — but they won’t come forward unless they’re legally given a subpoena, insiders say. The agents are fearful of retaliation from the political establishment in Congress.


Of course these 28 agents will be lying, right?

@coldjoint,
The point is Trump is lying to us, the citizens of the country he is president of, once again and it is a bold face lie. He is simply a scumbag.

No. Occupation does not mean blockade. Gaza is blockaded to prevent them from receiving weapons that they will misuse to murder innocent Israelis. There is no occupation.

Gaza's occupants are treated like murderous scumbags because they perpetually try to murder innocent people. This is the proper way to treat thugs who perpetually try to murder innocent people.

Those are the same people who will rule England shortly. They are motivated by Islam. The hatred for Jews is taught, and a hatred of non-Muslims. That view will not change no matter how much you kiss their asses.

MORE EVIDENCE OF THE #SPYGATE ENTRAPMENT SCAM:

Attempts Made to Lure Stephen Miller to London

The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned that an invitation to attend the campaign-themed event was extended to Stephen Miller, another Trump campaign adviser who currently serves in the White House. Miller did not attend the event, which featured former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright as a keynote speaker.

J. D. Gordon, the director of the campaign’s national security advisory committee, told TheDCNF he believes the invitation from Cambridge to Miller was sent in May 2016. That’s a month before a graduate assistant of FBI informant Stefan Halper sent an invitation to Page to visit the campus.

“The invitation was to Stephen Miller who could not attend,” Gordon, a former Pentagon spokesman, told TheDCNF. “In the midst of our policy office search for a surrogate, Carter Page informed me that he had also been invited and would like to attend.”

Actually they are lucky Miller did not show up. He is a smart cookie, the FBI not so much.

BOOM! Andrew McCabe asks for IMMUNITY in exchange for his TESTIMONY…

Why is that? Did he do something illegal? Can he rat Obama out? God I hope so. Cool
Quote:
Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is seeking legal immunity in exchange for his testimony on the agency’s handling of the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.

A lawyer for McCabe wrote to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on Tuesday seeking a guarantee of immunity for McCabe’s testimony before the panel, writing that the former FBI official would plead the Fifth if prompted to testify otherwise, CNN reported.

Argentina has cancelled a World Cup warm-up match with Israel, apparently under political pressure over Israel's treatment of Palestinians in Gaza.

Argentina striker Gonzalo Higuain told the ESPN sports channel on Tuesday the game had been cancelled.

"They've finally done the right thing," Higuain said in an interview.

The Israeli Embassy in Argentina tweeted to confirm that the football friendly between the two countries was off.

Media reports say Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Argentine President Mauricio Macri in an attempt to salvage the friendly tie, due to be played in Jerusalem on Saturday.

News of the cancellation was met with cheers in Gaza, where at least 120 Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces during recent protests.

A White House communications aide who drew criticism for reportedly joking about Senator John McCain's cancer has left her role, an official says.

Kelly Sadler raised eyebrows last month after reports emerged she had said the Republican senator's vote did not matter because he was "dying anyway".

The remark came during a meeting over CIA Director Gina Haspel, whose nomination Mr McCain had opposed.

Mr McCain, 81, has been diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer.

"Kelly Sadler is no longer employed within the Executive Office of the President," White House spokesman Raj Shah told the BBC in a statement on Tuesday.
