The Trump administration has been ordered by a California judge to return all children, some 2,000, to be reunited with their parents by July 26. Gov. Dannel Malloy issued a statement Monday that said "It should not take a lawsuit to convince President Trump to reunite the families his administration heartlessly ripped apart – nor should it take public intervention from governors, United States senators, and members of Congress. The president’s zero-tolerance policy, which is nothing short of child abuse, has caused unimaginable trauma that will doubtless harm these children and their parents for the rest of their lives. While it is good news that these children will be reunited with their parents today, they never should have been separated in the first place. It is a tragic footnote of Donald Trump’s disastrous presidency that he is far tougher on the most vulnerable people in the world than the brutal dictators he seems to idolize.”
