Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) told the Trump administration on Wednesday that it should end its policy of separating migrant children from their parents.

“End your #BabyJails. Reverse your evil policy of ripping toddlers away from their mothers & fathers,” Lieu wrote in a tweet directed at Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

Lieu also pointed out that, having served in the military, he understood that the U.S. had “serious threats” but said that “babies are not one of them.”

4. Thank you Ted,

But by giving him anything, legislation , or anything will only encourage this hostage taker to continue to take hostages, brutally hurt them for personal political gain. He has to himself be forced to reverse HIS policy , or it'll continue , and get a lot worse. Never give in to a criminal. Child abuse is a crime.

6. More than a few Republican politicians have said American babies have gotten too brown

and need to whiten up fast.

7. Hostage taking needs to stop

By not allowing his legislation to be passed , period, or you'll just encourage him to use this tactic again, and again ,and again, And who's children will it be next time he uses to intentionally damage , and terrorize, ours? He's so corrupt and brutal , and desperate , it easily could be. He's a criminal and a terrorist, and shouldn't be appeased by giving in to his demands. Thank You Ted for standing up to them again and again. So many republican cowards refuse to do so, even while children are being abused from HIS policy. He should be asked to resign from this.
