The House Oversight Committee on Tuesday voted to subpoena the Trump administration over documents related to the policy of separating children from families at the southern border.

This will be the first subpoena issued since Democrats took control of the House and promised to hold President Trump accountable. The vote was bipartisan, with Reps. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) and Chip Roy (R-Texas) voting with all the Democrats.

Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) said the committee has been asking the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Service for information for seven months.

“I did not make this decision lightly,” Cummings said. “I believe it is a true national emergency, when our own government rips vulnerable children from the arms of their mothers and fathers with no plans to reunite them. That is government sponsored child abuse.”

1. As they should. That policy is an abomination.

2. Cummings correctly points out that the "emergency" is the separation policy.

Not Trump's made-up BS about drugs and rapists.

Children!

4. Boy, I'd love to spike Eva Braun Nielsen's water with truth serum.

Senator: "Madam Secretary, are you telling this committee that separating children from their parents, and then disappearing said children, is justified?"

Nielsen: "Senator, these are brown children. We therefore don't consider them 'children'."

6. Hopefully this will reveal

Stephen Miller as the racist nazi spearheading this horrible policy.

I hate that guy and he should be tried once this is all over.
