S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency. The city must not be complicit in U. S. President Donald Trumps policies that have separated children from their families at the Mexican border, Bottoms said. I, like many others, have been horrified watching the impact of President Trumps zero tolerance immigration policy on children and families, Bottoms said in a statement. My personal angst has been compounded by the City of Atlantas long-standing agreement with the U.S. Marshals Office to house ICE detainees in our City jail. Bottoms said that she had concerns about a potential unintended consequence of individuals being sent private, substandard, for-profit facilities elsewhere in the state as a result of the order. --- If you're not voting like a black woman, your opinion doesn't matter to me <cite>FrisbeeDude posted [p:903646886] in Atlanta ma...
