Trump administration reportedly set to withdraw from UN Human Rights Council amid separation policy backlash

The Trump administration is expected to pull out of the United Nations Human Rights Council on Tuesday amid international backlash over its policy to split up immigrant families at the country’s southern border, according to a report.

UN Ambassador Nikki Haley and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will announce the withdrawal during a press conference at the State Department headquarters in Washington, D.C., at 5 p.m., two people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg News.

Administration officials have accused the diplomatic body of holding an anti-Israel bias and have hinted at a withdrawal for months. Last year, Haley accused the body of pursuing a “relentless, pathological campaign” against Israel in the bloody conflict with Palestine.

The expected withdrawal comes one day after the UN’s high commissioner for human rights, Zeid Ra’ad al Hussien, blasted the Trump administration for separating children from their undocumented parents if they’ve entered the country illegally.

“The thought that any state would seek to deter parents by inflicting such abuse on children is unconscionable,” al Hussien said at a meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, on Monday. “I call on the United States to immediately end the practice of forcible separation of these children.”

UN should be addressing the Presidents of Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.

Now load them up on a bus TOGETHER and safely transport them BACK to their President.

They are NOT our citizens and not our responsibility and this must stop now!
