Sen. Pat Roberts and Rep. Kevin Yoder have condemned the separation of migrant families through letters to Attorney General Jeff Sessions. On Monday, The Kansas City Star writes Yoder sent Sessions a letter urging him to stop immigrant family separation, citing the trauma that children undergo when separated from their families. “That’s why I’m demanding that Attorney General Sessions halt the practice of family separation at the border immediately as Congress works toward legislative solutions,” Yoder wrote. Pat Roberts signed a letter with 10 other Republican senators, calling to cease family separation. Senate bills from Republicans and Democrats have been introduced to end family separations at U.S. borders.Related:
