HeadlineJun 20, 2018

Meanwhile, more than 600 members of the United Methodist Church have filed a formal complaint against fellow church member Attorney General Jeff Sessions, accusing him of child abuse, immorality and racial discrimination for the Trump administration’s practice of separating immigrant children from their families. Sessions was also heckled while receiving a lifetime achievement award by the National Sheriffs’ Association in New Orleans on Monday by protesters who shouted, “Stop taking kids!”

kids! Stop taking kids! Stop taking kids! Stop taking kids!”

Five protesters were arrested protesting outside the National Sheriffs’ Association convention, while inside Sessions hailed the sheriffs’ association’s “Anglo-American” heritage.
