Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) issued a statement calling President Trump's immigration policies "cruel and arbitrary" on Thursday, following a report that an Oakland, Calif. family had been separated by a deportation order.

Immigration officials told Oakland nurse Maria Mendoza-Sanchez and her husband Eusebio on May 23 that the couple, who illegally entered the U.S. 23 years ago, that they had three months to make arrangements to return to Mexico, according to a San Francisco Chronicle story.
The couple will depart for Mexico on Tuesday along with their 12-year-old son, but must leave their 3 older daughters, aged 16, 21, and 23, behind in the U.S.
“Maria and Eusebio Sanchez have lived in this country for more than 20 years. They are hardworking parents raising four children, three citizens and one protected by DACA. They have no criminal records. They pay taxes, own their home and contribute to this country. These are the kind of people we should welcome into the United States with open arms," Feinstein said.

We have read so many similar stories like this since January, and it will continue. I note Immigration reform is seldom mentioned as an agenda item with the Congress.
