That is a huge if.
Trump's people, at the time, said they were separating children as a deterrence to all crossers.  They did not say anything about this BS "drug lords hiding behind kids" theory.  That lame excuse came much later.
They were cruel people and there will be a price to pay for their cruelty.
See if anyone successfully sues over an Obama or Biden separation.  There are plenty of Republican appointed judges who might hear such a case.  But the cases are not there, chuck.

Obama separated families. I said nothing about drug lords. It was proven that many children were of no relation to the adults who were accompanying them to the border. The entire reason for these lawsuits is purely political. It's obvious for all to see. Are you saying that Biden's policies of piling immigrants on the border in squalid conditions wasn't cruelty? Who should pay for that?

Don't worry, Mike, I'm not disparaging the people of your wife. I married a brown skinned girl from a [BLEEP] hole country myself. The difference being I did it long before it became a socially redeemable act.
