| Authorities use rubber bullets, tear gas to clear protesters near White House ahead of curfew; Trump then walks to a nearby church |
The protesters appeared to be peaceful before they were cleared away from a street near the White House. President Trump then delivered remarks in the White House Rose Garden in which he called himself "the president of law and order." He said he would deploy the military to put down protests across the country if governors do not control the situation. Trump did not specify what legal authority he would use to deploy troops within the United States.
He then walked across the street to St. John's Episcopal Church, a part of which was set on fire Sunday, to pose for photos. Upon arriving he held up a Bible and told reporters, "We have a great country." |

(The Story Of UNC-CH Public Health Professor John Hatch)
"The most incredible thing about last week’s decision in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on detained migrant children is that the case existed at all. The court ruled that the Trump administration had to provide basic health and hygiene supplies, including soap and toothbrushes, to the children in its custody.
Justice Department lawyers had argued that such items weren’t necessary to meet the required “safe and sanitary conditions” to hold kids at immigration facilities. The three-judge panel disagreed.
“Assuring that children eat enough edible food, drink clean water, are housed in hygienic facilities with sanitary bathrooms, have soap and toothpaste, and are not sleep-deprived are without doubt essential to the children’s safety,” Judge Marsha Berzon wrote for the court. One of the panel’s members, Judge A. Wallace Tashima, was himself held at a Japanese-American internment camp as a boy during World War II.
The episode amounted to an act of astonishing cruelty toward the children themselves. It was also an enormous waste of everyone’s time and energy.
... The American legal system spent countless man-hours to decide whether children in federal custody should get soap and toothbrushes."
