The Border Patrol has just released video from inside the detention facility. This video was shot by the government.

Those on both sides of the aisle are speaking out to say the separation of immigrant children from their parents at the US/Mexico border could (and should stop) TODAY if the President intervened. Even loyal Donald Trump defenders Alan Dershowitz and Anthony Scaramucci say it’s time for Trump to step in.
This morning Dershowitz came out against the Trump policy on Fox News of all places.

"I think the President should stop it," says Anthony @Scaramucci of the "atrocious" zero tolerance border policy.
"I'm here to say that it's very bad policy and that the President is a humane guy … and he doesn't need this type of visual" https://t.co/lfXFy1gaTy pic.twitter.com/xQXvsPO1co

Laura Bush’s op-ed in the Washington Post is getting a lot of attention too. The former first lady has rarely spoken out about issues like this since her husband left office.
I live in a border state. I appreciate the need to enforce and protect our international boundaries, but this zero-tolerance policy is cruel. It is immoral. And it breaks my heart.https://t.co/he1uw1E96A
