      I’m perplexed by that. Aren’t 18 year olds considered adults in the US? 19 is such a strange choice.

        18-20 is a weird age bracket where you can buy smokes, are eligible to vote and for military service, but can’t buy alcohol.

    The order makes a false assertion of fact in its first paragraph. Then bases the entire order on that falsehood.

    (e) prioritize investigations and take appropriate action to end child-abusive practices by so-called sanctuary States that facilitate stripping custody from parents who support the healthy development of their own children, including by considering the application of the Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act and recognized constitutional rights.
