Breaking ... A letter to be released this morning by a bipartisan group of 72 former U.S.
attorneys (starting with New York's Preet Bharara) calls on Attorney General Jeff
Sessions "to announce that this policy was ill-conceived and that its consequences and
cost are too drastic":
72人の前判事らの党派を超えた共同書簡がセッションズ司法長官に送られ、この政策の
悪影響を示すように求めた
"[Y]our Zero Tolerance policy has produced a tragic and unsustainable result, without
taking into account each family’s specific circumstances."
"The law does not require the systematic separation of families under these
circumstances. Collectively, as former United States Attorneys, we have prosecuted
tens of thousands of cases involving far more serious crimes than misdemeanor
illegal entry offenses."
"And even in those far more serious cases, decisions involving the separation of
children from their parents were made with extraordinary caution, and only after
an evaluation of the specific circumstances of a particular case."
