So, i im on the east side of the big island and witnessing in my personal experience probably the most amazing volcanic activity ive ever seen in my life. We are having these fissure eruptions that started on the 3rd of may, so were now into the tenth day of eruptions. As you can see behind me, you can see some smoke coming up.

Immigrants can find out if their children are okay. What im describing is how the Trump Administrations zero tolerance policy is being put into practice along the southern u. S. Border. At least one person at the white house is not happy about it, first lady. A spokeswoman for Melania Trump te cnn that mrs. Trump hates to see children separated from their families and hopes both sides of the aisle can finally come together and achieve successful immigration reform. She believes we need to be a country that follows all laws but also a country that governs with heart. Let me remind you that her husband, the president , has expressed compassion for children before. It was more than a year ago when he claimed that seeing suffering babies in syria drove him to order military action there. It crossed a lot of lines for me.
