Sarah Sanders, the White House press secretary, Sanders invoked the Bible to defend the Trump administration’s immigration policy of separating mothers from their children. Child abuse is now part of America's official immigration policy | Michael Paarlberg Read more She was speaking at Thursday’s White House briefing, in response to a question about comments made by the attorney general Jeff Sessions, where he cited a passage in the Bible to justify the policy. He added: “Orderly and lawful processes are good in themselves and protect the weak and lawful.” Sanders was asked about Sessions’ statement, and was challenged: “Where does it say in the Bible that’s moral to take children away from mothers?” Pushing back, Sanders said: “I’m not aware of the attorney general’s comments or what he would be referencing, [but] I can say that it is very biblical to enforce the law. That is repeated throughout the Bible.” The policy of separating undocumented parents from their children at the border was announced by Sessions in May as part of a “zero-tolerance policy”. If you don’t like that, then don’t smuggle children over our border.” It has since met a wide range of criticism including from the United Nations human rights office as well as from prominent evangelical groups. The Republican bill would also ensure more than $23bn in border security, a majority of which would be used to build a wall along the border with Mexico. The House is expected to vote on the bill and an alternative, more conservative plan next week. The White House defence came as it emerged that the US government will open a temporary shelter for unaccompanied immigrant children in far west Texas, as existing facilities for children reach capacity under the zero-tolerance policy. A spokesman for the US Department of Health and Human Services said on Thursday that the department had selected the Tornillo port of entry as a temporary shelter location, 40 miles south-east of El Paso, in an area of desert where temperatures routinely approach 100F (37C). Hundreds of families have been separated, with parents detained and their children placed in government shelters.

Time's Up For The Trump family On Thursday, June 14, the Attorney General of New York, Barbara Underwood, filed a lawsuit to bar the Trump family from getting involved with any charities. In addition, at Mr. Trump's behest, the Trump Foundation illegally provided extensive support to his 2016 presidential campaign by using the Trump Foundation's name and funds it raised from the public to promote his campaign for presidency, including in the days before the Iowa nominating caucuses." Is time up for the Trump family shenanigans? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 14, 2018 ....Schneiderman, who ran the Clinton campaign in New York, never had the guts to bring this ridiculous case, which lingered in their office for almost 2 years. The Justice Department found that James Comey, the ex-FBI director turned author, was insubordinate in his investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails, which he publicly discussed while she was running against Trump for president. "We found that it was extraordinary and insubordinate for Comey to do so, and we found none of his reasons to be a persuasive basis for deviating from well-established Department policies." The IG found no evidence of political bias in the investigation. I respect the DOJ IG office, which is why I urged them to do this review. — James Comey (@Comey) June 14, 2018 Trump Wasn't a Fan of AT&T Hopping in Bed With Time Warner Time Warner believes that the AT&T Inc.
