President Trump signed an executive order on June 20 rolling back his policy of separating parents from their children while claiming to solve a problem that was of his own creation.
"But this order is no solution at all," Cuomo wrote. "It still leaves open the long-term detention of immigrant children, which would clearly violate federal law."
"Moreover, you can’t un-abuse the more than 2,300 children who have been separated from their parents at the border with the swipe of a pen," Cuomo said.
Daily Voice reported earlier on this New York state lawsuit to challenge Trump's move to separate immigrant children from their parents.
This Daily Voice story detailed where some of the separated migrant children were expected to be sheltered in Westchester.
In the opinion piece titled, "A Moral Outrage We Must Not Tolerate," Cuomo said:
