TDs plan all-party criticism of US immigration policy

TDs look set to agree an all-party motion condemning the controversial practice in the US of separating the children of illegal immigrants from their parents.

US president Donald Trump, in the face of global criticism, defended the controversial practice of separating children from their parents in detention centres at the US border.

In the Dáil, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said he would convey the Government’s “grave concern” to the acting US Ambassador as soon as possible.
