    This misreporting by Members, press & advocacy groups must stop. It is irresponsible and unproductive. As I have said many times before, if you are seeking asylum for your family, there is no reason to break the law and illegally cross between ports of entry.

        You are not breaking the law by seeking asylum at a port of entry.

        For those seeking asylum at ports of entry, we have continued the policy from previous Administrations and will only separate if the child is in danger, there is no custodial relationship between 'family' members, or if the adult has broken a law.

        DHS takes very seriously its duty to protect minors in our temporary custody from gangs, traffickers, criminals and abuse.

        We do not have a policy of separating families at the border. Period.

        You do have that policy. Why do you deny it? Stephen Miller in on the record saying this is the policy. Why lie about it? You’re complicit. History and hopefully the courts will have a say in this.

        @SecNielsen just to be clear, you’re blaming the parents for you placing their children in quasi-prisons apart from them? I just want to make sure I’m clear on your position. Laws are important, but not perfect, and this one is far from it. Do the right thing and stop deflecting.

        The parents broke the law. Every day in the USA we separate children from parents who break the law. How come people aren’t upset about that?

        Is it a job requirement to work for this administration to lie, is that the 1st question they ask?
