'It's a sobering realization to note that this is something that is clearly a violation of international human rights law and it's happening in the United States,' said Dr. Ranit Mishori.

The Trump administration owes migrant families separated at the U.S.-Mexico border reparations for the trauma it inflicted on parents and children, a group of doctors have said in a new report shining a light on the long-lasting impacts President Donald Trump's"zero tolerance" policy has had on families.

Among parents, nearly every individual evaluated was diagnosed with PTSD, while many were diagnosed with depression and some with anxiety. However, both experts said that clear changes in mood and behavior, as well as new symptoms that presented themselves following separation at the border, clearly indicated that parents and children suffered trauma as a result of being separated.

The Trump administration's actions in separating families at the border and then refusing to inform parents and children of their loved ones' whereabouts—in some cases, for months—meet the criteria for both"torture" and"forced disappearance," the PHR report states. "Torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment are violations of human rights and are prohibited under domestic and international law in any and all circumstances," the report states.

Mishori and Hampton said parents who requested information from U.S. officials about the wellbeing and whereabouts of their children were, in some cases, not given answers for weeks and months at a time.

Stone makes bid for new trial alleging jury misconduct amid Trump pardon speculationPresident Trump's longtime friend and former campaign adviser, Roger Stone, makes a bid for a new trial on Tuesday. Absolutely Stone should get a new trial. That's his right. The dishonest media demonize everything. The idiots had their chance during voir dire. Obviously, like their client, they just ran their mouths. The key in voir dire is to keep the jurors talking. If the attorney is doing too much of the talking, they don’t learn anything about the juror.

Same Goal, Different Playbook: Why Russia Would Support Trump and SandersAt first glance, it may seem contradictory that the nation&39;s intelligence agencies were telling Congress that President Vladimir Putin of Russia is presumably striving to get President Donald Trump reelected, while also warning Sen. Bernie Sanders of evidence that he is the Russian president&39; Oh look, spam mail. Report and delete. This stuff is as scary as Trump. It appears to seem to me like both Bernie and Bloomberg are pre-positioned to continue the important parts of Trump's agenda, at least regarding Big Money and russian influence. This is intolerable - who's to say I'm wrong?

Trump privately vents over coronavirus even as he publicly insists everything is finePresident Donald Trump has privately expressed frustration in recent days about some of the ways his administration is confronting a spreading coronavirus outbreak, according to people familiar with the conversations. Publicly, he has expressed optimism that the virus is 'going to go away.' if a usa president cant stop putin and his thugs from trying to rig a election we need someone stronger so we can vote for in usa we dont need another 2016 election in usa . i say now if he cant stop it impeachment for him my opinion. Jim Jones is perhaps the best-known recent cult leader. He founded a group called the People's Temple based on racial equality and socialism. In 1978 he orchestrated the mass suicide of over 900 people ….. Bernie is scary Of course his concern has nothing to do with the health of the people he supposedly represents.
