TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) - The Honduran toddler pictured sobbing in a pink jacket before U.S. President Donald Trump on an upcoming cover of Time magazine was not separated from her mother at the U.S. border, according to a man who says he is the girl’s father.

The powerful original photograph, taken at the scene of a border detention by Getty Images photographer John Moore, became one of the iconic images in the flurry of media coverage about the separation of families by the Trump administration.

Dozens of newspapers and magazines around the globe published the picture, swelling the tide of outrage that pushed Trump to back down Wednesday and say families would no longer be separated.

“My daughter has become a symbol of the ... separation of children at the U.S. border. She may have even touched President Trump’s heart,” Denis Valera told Reuters in a telephone interview.

Valera said the little girl and her mother, Sandra Sanchez, have been detained together in the Texas border town of McAllen, where Sanchez has applied for asylum, and they were not separated after being detained near the border.

Honduran deputy foreign minister Nelly Jerez confirmed Valera’s version of events.

Why didn't Obama end it?

We've had guys on tv saying "Trump would never do this on the Canadian border because they're white people." Fact is Obama started the policy. Doesn't make much sense the media rn.

perhaps i have the legality wrong, however i believe it goes like this:

-was a court ruling, so would require legislation or an executive order to change

-legislation in late Obama-term was nothing but gridlock, so he'd have done an EO

-Trump has been dismantling Obama EOs

so the most likely scenario is Obama makes a pro-immigrant EO and then Trump rolls it back.

Separating children from their parents was the right move while the emperor claims it needed to be done

Children must not be separated from their parents after the emperor claims they need to be reunited

God forbid the cultists have an original thought for once :wacko:


Lol, expect a long shitpost with a meme after saying something that makes sense on the matter.

1 -> Trump admin starts separating children from families at the border to scare migrants.
2 ->

quoted Scaly to annoy TheSnipa, who's seeking a face-off instead of reasoning.

3 -> separation stops and normally intelligent ppl, start thinking that Trump did something good here. While it's just correcting the poor heartless idea he started.

Good move. I'm sure IceMage, Beowulf, or snipa have some sort of count going on how many positives Trumps has brought--what's this now, 3?

I mean... come on.. wtf.

Obama didn't actively separate families at the border.. Hard to end something you didn't start.

what about ?

Obama didn't get enough criticism from allies, Trump does, but who the fuck cares about an ex prez? Stop circle jerking, with a new one in town.
It's completely useless as he can't change things in the past.
