Iran leader says Trump immigration policy illustrates US ‘evil’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei slams the United States for the “crime” of separating migrant children from their families, joining widespread criticism of the policy.
“The matter of separating thousands of children from their mothers is a serious issue. One cannot watch with a sound state of mind these children crying on TV,” he tells lawmakers in a speech published online.
“How can they commit such a crime of separating children from their mothers for the excuse of implementing some policy? This shows how evil they really are.”
Criticism of the Trump administration over the issue has also come from international rights groups, Christian evangelicals, former US first ladies and the president’s own Republican Party.
