Rejected petition Denounce the US ‘zero tolerance’ border policy & stop Trump’s 13th July UK visit

Since April the US has criminally prosecuted adult migrants for entering the country illegally. When those immigrants were accompanied by children they have been separated and held in separated detention facilities.

More details

This ‘zero tolerance’ policy has seen over 1995 children separated from their parents. This is no different when Jews were housed in camps and this practice must be stopped.

The UK is due to host Trump on July 13th. He will meet with the Queen and the PM.

With such deep unhumanitarian policies being enforced by Trump, hosting him makes the UK complicit of these practices.
