Trump's xenophobic repudiation grows | They reject …

The new measures proposed by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, as part of his crusade against migrants and undocumented, have led to the immediate rejection of human rights defenders, democratic opponents and groups of lawyers. The President announced the indefinite extension of the 20-day period during which an undocumented child may be detained (according to the term fixed by the "Flores Judicial Agreement").

Rourke, who denounced the that "cruelty will only get worse". "Thousands of children separated from their parents. Seven children were killed in our custody. Many others sleep on the floor of our detention centers. Trump decided that the solution would be to imprison them longer. This cruelty will get worse if we do not do anything. "He said on Twitter.

New Jersey Democrat Senator Robert Menéndez said on the same social network that "indefinite family detention is NOT the solution to the separation of families".

Long said that after the publication of the new regulation in the Federal Register, scheduled for Friday, a 60-day deadline for its entry into force, during which a decision of Federal Judge Dolly Gee, which under his tutelage, he will receive in his office the various actions that lawyers engage against the new regulation.
