The Justice Department formally rescinded the Trump administration's controversial"zero tolerance" policy that called for the criminal prosecution of adults crossing the border and led to the separation of thousands of families, according to a memo obtained by CNN.
The policy was ended by former President Donald Trump in June 2018 after mounting criticism, but on Tuesday, the department moved to rescind it altogether."Consistent with this longstanding principle of making individualized assessments in criminal cases, I am rescinding -- effective immediately -- the policy directive," acting Attorney General Monty Wilkinson said in a memo to federal prosecutors.
Obama's immigration policy first broke up families way before Trump stepped into office
I guess Biden is going to put kids back in cages again
In America you go to jail for breaking the law regardless of how it may break families apart or leave children parentless.... I know because it happened to me as a child. So why is it any fucking different for adults entering the country illegally?
Let the Latin American refugees in and deport all of our homegrown terrorists who attacked the capitol. Their racists and criminals.
Make the blue states take care of them...
They should have went tho the proper route to join the USA, and that wouldn’t have happened, we can’t just take anyone and everyone in 🤦🏼♀️ we have laws, break them and suffer consequences
Is this the reason why they cross as a family illegally so that they can be granted safety since it will be illegal to separate them? And then be provided for along with shelter, food, medical and education which poor Americans with low paying jobs struggle for.

Just curious about this double standard Democrats are running. You let people enter illegally and don't charge them however you charge an ex-president with illegal activities. Things that make you go hmmm.
Big thanks to POTUS VP SpeakerPelosi chuckschumer HIASrefugees and Woke Democrats for rescinding this tragic policy. Immigration RefugeesWelcome
This will end great
How about a zero tolerance policy for insurrectionists and domestic terrorists?
Thank you POTUS
🍾
This was Bush policy. Cucks
Good but the damage is already done 😢
Opinion : most of the parents are bringing their children with them to cross the border had a choice, they could come across and take their chances and try to live the American dream.
One by One President Biden is dismantling the racist policies of the previous administration. Thank you President Biden.
I think we can all agree that's a massive relief!!
So is Biden not able to come up with his one policies, was he hired strictly to undo Trumps policies?!!?!!? I get it Trump was a wacko, but why take a step back when you can take this opportunity to take steps forward
All the craziness is being brought to an end👏The Biden era is very promising!
so are we throwing them back together over the borderThat seems fair
Whoo hoo! Go Joe Biden! Go Kamala Harris!
Good on them, let them in all criminals and drug cartels and then resort to spending more money on controlling crime.
What happens if you drive drunk, with your child in the car? You go to jail, and your children are placed in the care of others. Trying to illegally cross an international border, is no less serious an offense.
Biden is destroying this country
Open borders & no ability for them to become citizens for years & no way to screen their backgrounds or CoVid. Then they’re released & officials can’t keep track of them when their court case comes up a year or two later. In the meantime, we can’t deport 12 time criminals!🤷🏻♂️
BIden....making our citizens less safe every day.
THIS, makes me proud to be an American, thank you BidenAdministration for that!
And so the flood of illegals begin Future democratic voters in the making
Yay! Free healthcare, Social Security, Welfare, Foodstamps, housing allowance and vaccines for all!!!!
The separation policy was been in play for decades...
