About Those Crying Children
Border agent involved with dramatic photo of crying girl breaks silence
The picture of a Honduran girl crying as she and her mother are detained in Texas has grabbed worldwide attention and come to symbolize the intense debate about separating children from their parents.
Time magazine put the young girl on this week's cover, but the Border Patrol agent involved in the dramatic scene says the photo might be a little misleading. That agent said the mother and daughter were never separated and are still together.
"We were patrolling the border. It was after 10 o'clock at night," Border Patrol agent Carlos Ruiz told CBS News' David Begnaud.
He was the first to encounter Sandra Sanchez and her daughter after they allegedly crossed the Rio Grande River into Texas illegally.
"We asked her to set the kid down in front of her, not away from her, she was right in front of her . . . So we can properly search the mother," Ruiz said. "So the kid immediately started crying as she set her down. I personally went up to the mother and asked her 'Are you doing OK? Is the kid OK?' and she said, 'Yes. She's tired and thirsty. It's 11 o'clock at night.'"
Getty photographer John Moore joined Ruiz for a nearly nine-hour ride along on the border. He was just feet away from Sanchez and her daughter.
"When I took this picture, I knew it would be important. I had no way of knowing that it would touch people quite on the level that it has," Moore said. "I asked her how long she'd been traveling, and she gave me this very weary look, and she said she'd been on the road with her daughter for a month . . . Imagine doing that with children. It's almost impossible to imagine, actually."
Moore's image is now on the cover of Time magazine next to a picture of President Trump. (CBS News) Read more
- Father God, we ask You to forgive the editors of TIME Magazine for this brazen attack against the truth of this particular story. We ask that this story instead be broadcast far and wide, even as we lift up President Trump and all others working with him as they confront the issue of lawlessness and danger on our southern border. In Your Name, amen.
- "'This far you may come, but no farther, And here your proud waves must stop!'" (Job 38:11)

The Trumpet
A weekly email of highlights for--and requests for action from--the conservative world
June 22, 2018
PLEASE NOTE: LINKS TO ALL TOPICS LISTED BELOW ARE AVAILABLE BY GOING HERE.
(Many thanks to Intercessors for America for allowing us to link our material via their own website. Thank you, IFA!)
Key topics for this week:
1. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations Nikki Haley announced the Trump Administration's withdrawal from UN Human Rights Council, which has become "an exercise in shameless hypocrisy."
2. The U.S. Department of Labor announced a finalized rule enabling more e mployers to participate in Association Health Plans (AHPs), which will enable more Americans to find some relief from Obamacare. This step is part of President Trump's effort to empower as many Americans as possible to get out from under Obamacare.
3. President Trump signed an executive order to keep illegal immigrant children with their families, to the greatest extent possible, as a temporary path to Congress passing a permanent solution that protects children, respects the rule of law, and increases national security.
You may also find useful the opening remarks from Homeland Security Secreta ry Kirstjen Nielsen at a White House press briefing this week. She clearly outlines the facts on the ground about the family separation issue and the lead up to this situation over many years.
4. President Trump and Vice President Pence continue to stand with the victims of illegal alien crime.
5. President Trump rolled out a proposal for the comprehensive reorganization and modernization of the federal government to make it more efficient and effective.
6. Unfortunately, the Senate defeated President Trump's rescissions package, the Spending Cuts to Expired and Unnecessary Programs Act (H.R. 3).
> > > TIMELY REQUESTS
We'd be grateful for your touting of the President's government reorganization proposal (see above), including your ongoing feedback about the various parts of the proposal and how we could enact them.
And as always, we would appreciate amplification of any of the items in this or other recent editions of The Trumpet-particularly the items at the top of this week's Trumpet, which got less public attention than they otherwise would have during another week.
Thank you, and enjoy an excellent weekend . . .

Next Sunday! Call2Fall
(The commentary below was written by Maureen Bravo, President,
24/7 Strategic Prayer Network. You can join Maureen and her team of amazing
intercessors, ANYTIME, DAY OR NIGHT, in lifting up President Trump for prayer
by going here.

Last night, the question was asked: Do we, the people of God in the USA, have the anointing and authority to stop these attacks against our President? The answer is yes, and we have already received the guidance to be able to accomplish this task . . . but we must approach God in the manner He dictates and come before Him in national repentance!
". . . and My people, who are called by
My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their
wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will
heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)
Will we answer God's
call to humble ourselves, fall on our knees in prayer and seek His face, freely
repenting of our national sin, so that He will forgive our sins and heal our land?
The upcoming "Call2Fall" presents us with just such an
opportunity! This national prayer initiative, taking place on July 1st...the
Sunday before we celebrate our "Independence," gives us a chance to
express our "Dependence" upon the Lord, and to unite across our
nation in a corporate time of repentance and prayer. The Body of Christ is
asked to set aside a definite time during worship services that day, to get on
our knees and faces before the Lord, and in a corporate act of humility,
repentance, and prayer, ask God to reshape our lives and renew our land. We, on the 24/7 NSPC, will uphold and participate in the "Call2Fall" every hour of that day! We also urge and encourage our 24/7 family to take this information to their congregations and ask their pastors and prayer leaders to make this part of their church service on that Sunday. For more info: http://www.call2fall.com
We pray:
- Lord, we are profoundly aware that we're at this critical point in our history because as a nation, we have been moving away from You for decades. We stand before You today and repent. Forgive us!
- As we, Your intercessors, stand in the gap and "turn" back to You with all our hearts, we ask that this nation do the same! We receive Your mercy and forgiveness, and look to a future that is filled with HOPE . . . a real HOPE . . . a HOPE that is in YOU . . . and YOU ALONE!
- We pray for our President, that he will serve You and our people, with dignity and grace, integrity and truth. Thank You for protecting him from the snares of the fowler, so that any trap set for him will be destroyed, in the Name of Jesus!
- We know that there is much work to be done on the part of Your Church. Help each one of us to step up and step out, sharing the burden as we together reclaim, redeem and rebuild our beloved country.
