The orange clown Donald Trump's unnecessary executive order to stop his own policy of separating families of asylum seekers actually doesn't end the horrible treatment of people heading to the US to escape crime and poverty in Central America.

The hastily and carelessly drafted order declares that the US border patrol will no longer remove children from asylum-seeking parents and send them to distant internment camps, sometimes hundreds of even thousands of miles away.  Instead, parents and children will be locked up together - indefinitely.  That directly conflicts with a 2015 court ruling that orders the US government to child migrants from detention after 20 days.  Although the moron might not know it, he has absolutely no authority to dismiss federal court rulings by decree.  That sets up a showdown between the White House and human rights activists.

"These are protections for kids.  That's the doctrine here," said Muzaffar Chishti, director of the nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute's office at the NYU School of Law.  "And if anything goes against the protection of kids, it will be challenged."

Senior administration officials also said Trump's order did not specifically order the Department of Homeland security to reunite the more than 2,300 children already separated from their parents with their families.
