Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Jonathan Edwards (Plaid Cymru), on Wednesday, 20 June 2018, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 23 members in total.
US ADMINISTRATION IMMIGRATION POLICY
That this House condemns in the strongest terms the US Administration's zero-tolerance immigration policy which has seen almost 2,000 children and babies separated from their parents and held in cages at the border with Mexico; notes the recordings of traumatised children crying out for their parents from inside the holding cells and expresses vehemently how inhumane this practice is; further notes that the policy of separating children from their parents is unprecedented globally; notes with regret the US Administration's decision to withdraw from the UN Human Rights Council, turning its back on a legacy as a global champion of human rights; and urges the Government and the international community to come together in condemnation to push for President Trump to stop this abhorrent abuse.
