It's my understanding that they apply this horrible policy to any asylum seeking family - no misdemeanors required.
- slavak 8y agoThe very act of crossing the border is a misdemeanor, and thanks to Jeff Sessions' "Zero Tolerance" policy, almost every adult is being prosecuted, even if they are not dangerous and even if they apply for asylum. In other words: A misdemeanor is still required. If you do not have a misdemeanor available, one will be provided for you. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/6/19/17475326/family-separation-border-patrol-visual-explainer https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/6/19/17475326/f...
