Trump's policy of breaking up migrant families is 'unconscionable', says UN human rights chief
The United Nations’ top human rights official has condemned the Trump administration’s policy of breaking up migrant families, calling the practice “unconscionable”. Speaking at the opening of a regular Human Rights Council session in Geneva, Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein urged the US authorities to end a “zero tolerance” policy that has seen almost 2,000 children taken from their families in the past six weeks. “The thought that any state would seek to deter parents by inflicting such abuse on children is unconscionable,” said Mr Hussein.

Trump's Plan To Stop Family Separations Is To Detain Families Together
President Donald Trump’s plan to stop his administration’s policy of separating immigrant children from their families seems simple: Lock up immigrant parents and their children together, indefinitely. But there’s no evidence that Trump has the legal authority to make his wish reality.
