Bible was used to justify of taking 2000 children to separated from their families in the US

News24xx.com -  Donald Trump’s administration is pursuing a controversial ‘zero-tolerance’ policy for anyone that caught after entering the US illegally. And the US Government has come under fire for its treatment of the families who are coming across the US-Mexico border. 

They makes nearly 2,000 children have been separated from their families under a controversial immigration crackdown. 

From data of immigration, within the last six weeks at least 1,995 minora including breastfeeding infants and other young babies have been separated from their families.

The new figures were announced just days after the Trump administration used quotes from the Bible to justify taking the youngsters.

And between April 19 and May 31, at least 1,940 adults must removed their children while they awaited prosecution. The adults have been told that their children were being taken to be bathed or cleaned up but then they don’t see them again. Once taken from their families, the children become the charges of the Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families or specifically, the Office of Refugee Resettlement.

Attorney General of the US, Jeff Sessions cited a passage in the Bible to justify the move and cite from the Apostle Paul and Romans 13 to obey the laws of the government,  because God has ordained them for the purpose of order.

Trump’s administration say they want to reunite the families as much as possible after the court proceedings however it puts the responsibility largely on the parents to locate their children and attempt to get them returned.

Until April, people detained for immigration offences were referred for civil deportation proceedings and kept together. But now the parents are charged and processed under the criminal system which means children can be removed.
