Good Morning Australia!! - Trump is forced to back down off of his inhumane immigration policy - Protesters confront Trump's immigration chief over taking immigrant kids from undocumented parents - Big business increasingly wants nothing to do with Trump's cruelty - And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

The orange clown Donald Trump made a small show of signing an executive order to end the separation of minor children from their undocumented immigrant parents at the southern border of the US.  Trump did not explain why he backed down and surrendered, but it comes after several days of controversy in which Republican leaders were starting to grow some stones and oppose the White House's sick and immoral policy.  Trump's own wife and daughter spoke against it; more forceful condemnation came from human rights groups, the United Nations, and other countries - even Pope Francis weighed in to criticize it on Wednesday morning. 

It's not clear how the administration will reunite the 2,600 stolen children, some infants, with their parents.  Or when.  Or where.  But one thing is clear:  The brain-dead dopes in the Trump administration misspelled the word "separation" in the executive order.  It was later corrected.  "It is also the policy of this Administration to maintain family unity, including by detaining alien families together where appropriate and consistent with law and available resources," the statement read.  An executive order wasn't needed to end this policy; all Trump needed to do was pick up a phone and call the Border Patrol, but he chose to make it all about himself.

The administration's history on the family separations was shameful and pocked with blatant lies.  Trump and his henchmen denied the policy of having the border patrol tear crying children away from their parents didn't exist.  Then they admitted it existed, but blamed it on a nonexistent law passed by the Democrats at some undetermined earlier date.  Then they tried to justify it with a bible verse often used by evil-doers to rationalize slavery and the Native American genocide.  Then Trump appeared before an ultra-conservative business group and repeatedly exclaimed that families must be separated to frighten refugees into avoiding the United States - which actually set up a human rights abuse 'arms race' between Trump and the criminal cartels most of the Central American migrants were trying to escape, with Trump trying to be worse than drug gangs. 

Two more critical moments occurred in the tidal shift against Trump's policy.  On Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, former Trump campaign official Corey Lewandowski displayed the vulgarity and cowardice the world has come to expect from Trump's team by mocking the story of a ten-year-old girl with Down syndrome who was separated from her family by US border officials.  "Wah wah," he said, apparently immitating sad horn music, while the other incredulous guest yelled, "How dare you!"  That was met with near-total disgust by all but the most die-hard deplorables, especially when he tried to blame his conduct on the child's parents the next day, much like an abusive spouse claims the victim "forced him" to hit her. 

The second was the reaction to another display of Trump minion arrogance.  Like some sort of unironic cross of Cruella DeVille and Marie Antoinette, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen actually chose to eat at a Mexican restaurant, hours after loudly defending the policy of having border cops take children from their families at the Mexican border.  Seriously, who does that?  Protesters quickly gathered inside the eatery and surrounded her, chanting slogans such as, "Shame!" and "If kids don't eat in peace, you don't eat in peace!"  Nielsen and her dining companion tried to wait it out, staring down into their mobile phones, but eventually dashed out of the place.  The next day, Trump changed his tune.

Business also had its say.  Three carriers, American Airlines, United Airlines, and Frontier Airlines asked the US government not to buy tickets on their planes to transport separated children to holding centers in other parts of the country.

The far-right Hungarian parliament has passed new legislation that criminalizes lawyers and activists who help asylum seekers.  Racist Xenophobe Viktor Orban's government called it the "Stop Soros law", claiming that center-Left Hungarian-born billionaire George Soros for some reason wants to flood Hungary with Muslim immigrants.  Of course, he doesn't - but for hate-filled racists, it seems like a convenient way to combine Islamophobia with old-school European anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.  Under the new law, anyone could be jailed for working for or with non-governmental organizations that are involved in helping or campaigning for asylum seekers. Human rights groups insist all they are trying to do is help people who have been allowed in Hungary legally apply for asylum.

Indonesian officials say 180 people are missing in the sinking of an overcrowded ferry on Lake Toba on Sumatra.  That's way more than previously closed, and more than the old boat was supposed to handle.  It's possible there are a large number of passengers' bodies still on the ferry: "Many survivors told authorities that less than half of them had jumped into the water before the boat sank," said North Sumatra province police chief Paulus Waterpau.

The European Union on Friday will launch a raft of retaliatory tariffs against US products.  "The unilateral and unjustified decision of the US to impose steel and aluminium tariffs on the EU means that we are left with no other choice," said EU trade commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom.  Many of the agricultural and food products the EU has in its sights were specifically chosen to have maximum political effect: Bourbon whiskey is produced in Kentucky, the state of Senate majority leader and Trump-ally Mitch McConnell; Orange juice is a key export for Florida, a swing state in the US elections.
