Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity John Burnett ? We have some news now on how the Trump administration is pushing back against illegal immigration. The administration has for months talked about separating immigrant families at the border as a way of discouraging them from coming in the first place. A federal lawsuit filed on Monday says federal agents are increasingly doing that  and the idea has outraged activists. The plaintiff is an undocumented Congolese woman who's being detained in San Diego while her 7-year-old daughter is being held 2 000 miles away at a shelter in Chicago.  NPR's John Burnett  has the story.
 JOHN BURNETT   BYLINE: In recent years  the Department of Homeland Security has attempted to discourage asylum-seekers from coming to the U.S. Under Obama  they detained some unauthorized families in camps in South Texas rather than release them in the U.S. while their cases are heard. The Trump administration has gone even further. It has arrested immigrant parents in the U.S. who paid smugglers to bring their children across the border  and it wants to expand detention space. Now comes the most extreme measure yet  family separation.
 BURNETT : That's Lee Gelernt  deputy director of the ACLU's National Immigrant Rights Project. He's representing a 39-year-old mother who traveled from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Mexico with her 7-year-old daughter. They surrendered to immigration agents near San Diego in December. They said they were fleeing violence in Congo and asked for asylum. She's being held apart from her daughter. They're only able to speak by phone.
 BURNETT : A spokeswoman for Homeland Security declined to give a reason why the child was taken from her mother  saying only the agency does not comment on cases under litigation. The practice of separating undocumented families to discourage them from coming is not a formal stated policy of the administration  but immigrant activists say it's been quietly growing in frequency along the Southern border. Katharina Obser is with the Women's Refugee Commission.
 BURNETT : Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services has documented 53 incidents of family separation in the last nine months  mostly Central Americans. They say they're fleeing rampant gang violence. But the administration believes most of them are gaming the system  and it wants to stop the flow  first  because the trek is dangerous for young children. And  second  Matt Al Bent's  an official with ICE removal operations  told NPR...
 BURNETT : Immigration lawyers say the strategy could work. Mothers may drop their cases and go home to be reunited with their children. But is that a reasonable way to curtail illegal immigration? Dr. Lisa Fortuna  director of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Boston Medical Center  is an expert on the impact of trauma on immigrant families. She's submitting an amicus brief in the ACLU lawsuit.
 BURNETT : The lawsuit claims that immigration agents violated the Congolese woman's constitutional right to due process. It asks the government  if it's going to detain a mother and child during the asylum process  at least allow them to be together.  John Burnett   NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR  Copyright NPR.

Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bannon ? WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump’s lawyer said on Thursday he would try to stop publication of a book that portrays an inept president in a fumbling White House and threatened legal action against former top aide Steve Bannon over “defamatory” comments in the book.
Harder also told Reuters “legal action is imminent” against  Bannon .
Trump cut ties with  Bannon  on Wednesday  saying his former adviser had “lost his mind ” in a blistering statement issued after comments attributed to  Bannon  in the book were made public.
Trump lawyers sent a cease-and-desist letter to  Bannon  on Wednesday asking  him  not to disclose any confidential information. They said  Bannon  had breached an agreement by communicating with Wolff about Trump  his family and the campaign and made “disparaging statements and in some cases outright defamatory statements” about them.
In the book   Bannon  was quoted as describing a June 2016 meeting with a group of Russians at Trump Tower in New York as “treasonous” and “unpatriotic.” The meeting  held after the Russians promised damaging information on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton  was attended by Donald Trump Jr.  Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort  who was Trump’s campaign manager at the time.
Trump’s statement also diminished  Bannon ’s role in the election victory and accused  him  of leaking to the media. Before joining the campaign   Bannon  had headed conservative Breitbart News website and  he  proved to be a divisive figure in the White House.  He  returned to Breitbart after being fired  although he reportedly continued to talk with Trump.

 Bannon ’s reaction to the book controversy has been muted. In interviews with Breitbart News after the news broke   he  called Trump a “great man” and pledged continued support for his agenda.
Bradley Moss  a Washington lawyer specializing in national security law  said any non-disclosure agreement would not apply to  Bannon  once  he  became a government employee. The government has far less power to limit speech by employees than private companies  Moss said.
A lawsuit could hurt Trump because  Bannon ’s lawyers would be entitled to interview White House officials and collect potentially damaging documents from them in his defense  Moss said.
On Thursday  the White House said no personal devices  including cellphones  would be allowed in the West Wing beginning next week for security purposes. The moves followed the  Bannon  split but had been considered for some time.
 Bannon  helped Trump shape a populist  anti-establishment message and had been the president’s link to  his  hard-line conservative base of support  which is often at odds with the Republican Party establishment.

 While this is an improvement over some of  his  earlier approval ratings  which have cratered as low as 33 percent  45 percent still isn't all that great. It's still less than half of the country  and Trump still has very high disapproval rates. According to The Hill  more than half of Americans say they disapprove of the job Trump is doing.
