A boy's heart-wrenching cries for his father. A young girl begging for someone to call her aunt. These can be heard on an audio recorded in a border processing center where the Trump administration is separating children from parents and guardians. https://t.co/a3dNmfoNjA

The @FT View on the Trump family separation policy: "There may be Americans who can look squarely at this policy without turning away in shame, but they appear to remain in the minority."https://t.co/AASEjInifK

"It was very clear that these young people are being used as leverage, used as leverage to deter people from coming across the border … but also used as leverage politically." – Gen. Michael Hayden on family separations https://t.co/pkMlA3comh pic.twitter.com/PveL4fOJry

DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen just said DHS isn't separating families who "legitimately" enter country through a port of entry. This is false. I covered story of a 1-year-old baby taken from asylum seeker at port, for @KPBSnews & @NewsHour : https://t.co/8kc16Ffdbj

Nielsen is just a cold blooded liar. Does she expect us to believe that this horrible situation came out of nowhere because of Democrats in Congress? https://t.co/YS62b7CnLK

False claims by Nielsen: 1. parents allowed to call children 2. parents can claim custody of their kids when they are released (undocumented parents can be deported for coming forward) 3. illegal entry is a crime (previously could claim asylum when crossing between POEs)

If extra cash for the NHS is going to require tax rises, then it can't be described as a Brexit 'dividend' – can it ?

He lies about crime in Britain, he lies about crime in Germany, he lies about and defends his cruel, inhumane, barbaric policy of separating babies and children at the border, a new low even for him, and in less than four weeks, @theresa_may will roll out the red carpet. Really? https://t.co/Y9PyeMrSAD
