Cor Unum
it IS law that any child who enters the US without permission will be detained per the Flores Law, which was signed by Bill Clinton.



"There is no federal law that stipulates that children and parents be separated at the border, no matter how families entered the United States.  "



''[N]either
the 1997 Flores settlement nor a 2008 human trafficking law  . . .  in any way stipulated that the government separate children
from their parents . . . ''



"A cluster of rumors about the controversial separation of families at
the border held that the policy came before the Trump administration,
either stemming from a 1997 “law” or purported policies of previous
administrations. Those claims were false. No federal law required or
suggested the family separation policy announced by Attorney General
Sessions in several sets of remarks during April and May 2018."
