Yes, Sessions touched off a nerve among Evangelical pastors with the slightest ounce of compassion for children. This kind of cruelty can scar a child emotionally for the rest of their lives. Surely there's kinder gentler way to protect the border without harming children. Trump's wall trump's family values. And then to scapegoat the Democrats for his cruel action is a cowardly ploy to avoid taking responsibility. Trump is a disgrace to the values of this nation. Throw the bum out!
