Trump\u2019s anti-immigrant agenda sunk to new lows this weekend after his administration launched tear gas at children at the border, and a \u201c60 Minutes\u201d investigation found that Trump\u2019s family separation policy was worse than his administration has admitted.

The Trump administration shot tear gas at children and their families seeking asylum at the border.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Associated Press\u2019 Chris Sherman<\/a>: \u201cUS Border Patrol has just launched tear gas into Mexico. Breeze carrying it hundreds of yards. Parents running away with choking toddlers. #migrantcaravan\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cA little girl from Honduras stares into the camera, her young features contorted in anguish. She\u2019s barefoot, dusty and clad only in a diaper and T-shirt.

 <\/p>\n

CBS News<\/a>: \u201cOur investigation has found that the separation of families began far earlier and detained many more children than the administration has admitted.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MSNBC\u2019s Jacob Soboroff<\/a>: \u201cMeanwhile, this nightmare isn’t over for some of the kids Trump separated *months* ago. As of 11\/8: \u27a1\ufe0f 25 kids still in custody and *not eligible* for reunification. \u27a1\ufe0f 99 kids still in custody with deported parents who have *chosen* not to reunite.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
