Justice Department leaders under President Trump knew their 2018 border policy would result in family separations but pressed on with prosecutions.

Trump used executive action to carry out his immigration agenda, so Biden can unwind it in the same way.

The policy began April 6, 2018, under an executive order that was issued without warning to other federal agencies that would have to manage the policy, including the U.S. Marshals Service and Health and Human Services. It was halted June 20, 2018.The watchdog report found that judges, advocacy groups and even federal prosecutors raised concerns over the policy.

The report follows other scathing investigations of the policy, adding to the evidence that Trump administration officials knew a zero-tolerance policy would result in family separations and inflict trauma on immigrant parents and children.

Biden to allow migrant families separated under Trump to reunite in the U.S.The Biden administration’s task force to reunite families separated at the border under Trump will allow those families to reunite and settle in the United States We need all the future soldiers we can get. It worked, it worked, they used their children as emotional bait in a false asylum scheme, knowing full well that under Trump families were being separated and came anyway. Now, a gullible Biden administration fell for it. Virtually all will now be gov't charges. DUMB decision. BaddCompani The Biden Administration has so many challenges ahead with nothing but obstruction from the right. I hope all democrats (small d) stand with this administration but always keep them honest. We are depending on the media to do the right thing. It's a helluva balancing act. 🗳❤🇺🇸
