OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he will not “play politics” over immigration policies when it comes to the controversial U.S. practice of charging and separating illegal migrants from their children when they cross the border into the United States.
The U.S. government is under fire for its “zero tolerance” policy — including from the human rights chief of the United Nations Human Rights Council, which condemned the practice Monday as “unconscionable.” Amnesty International also weighed in, describing children being torn from the arms of their parents and placed into “cages” as “nothing short of torture.”
