Months before the Trump administration separated thousands of families at the U.S.-Mexico border, a “pilot program” in Texas left child-welfare officials scrambling to find empty beds for babies taken from their parents, according to a new report.

FILE - In this Dec. 11, 2018, file photo, an asylum-seeking boy from Central America runs down a hallway after arriving from an immigration detention center to a shelter in San Diego. A federal judge on Thursday, Oct. 22, 2020, urged the Trump administration to do more to help court-appointed researchers find hundreds of parents who were separated from their children after they crossed the U.S.-Mexico border beginning in 2017.

The problems revealed by the pilot program presaged what would happen months later: government employees caring for babies and young children in so-called tender age shelters and many parents being deported without their kids. The consequences linger today: Lawyers working to reunite immigrant families have saidDemocrats on the House Judiciary Committee released the report Thursday with emails obtained from government agencies.

That July, Customs and Border Protection agents began separating families in what was later called a pilot program,The pilot ran through November 2017. According to the inspector general, at least 118 children were taken from their parents. Documents in the new report suggest CBP did not communicate with HHS about why shelters were receiving more separated children.

Another HHS official, Tricia Swartz, had written to White on Sept. 28, 2017, warning that “these types of cases often end up with parent repatriated and kid in our care for months pending home studies, international legal issues, etc.”

Obama policy: Let’s hand the kids back over to the traffickers.

You can say their parents brought them here over and over but it is still not fact. These kids are being used and trafficked by people that are not their parents.

No Empathy

This should warn ALL THE PEOPLES what is ahead for a trump, mcmconnell party, fascism is rearing it’s ugly head ...and you are constantly being lied to with propaganda,...humanity,democracy for U.S. is at stake, as people who can see right from wrong fight for.

Obama built the caages for children and separated them.

ellisonreport What is very scary is that certain ppl.have no empathy for these children. If this is happening to them..African children are next..chinese next..on and on....it will not stop..if he is re-elected...his evil acts have no boundaries and will get worse and increase

Why are not the parents looking for their children? Because they don't want them back. They want America to take care of them.

Bull crap. I’m sure there’s waaaay more to the story than is stated here

I thought the news wires were non-biased/I'll look2a more valid news wire service & remove AP.

If he loses you’re done. You’re meaning the AP

We know where the children are...where are the parents? Are their own pursuits more important than reuniting with their children? Why aren’t the advocates that lured them into coming here illegally trying to help find the parents?!

Who built the cages and then send them? CorruptJoeBiden

Evil shit

sick fucks

The problem is housing minors with the family AND other adult detainees.

I can't believe anyone would vote for Trump again, is this what we call 'Christian' like? VoteBidenHarris2020 VoteThemAllOut

This was started by Obama admin. Why do you start shit

Who built the cages?

NBC reported this the first part of Oct. Miles Taylor is repeating the trump admin talking point ChildSeparation was rushed through in 2018. He's continuing to gaslight at best. Yet CNN is going to continue to employ him

...you mean the program Obama started in 2014

This heavy lead jackets cannot be put over the American People shoulders. God will ask of everyone about the heaviness of their silence in the New World we yet have to know. When a member of that gvt kisses grandchildren, sons, daughters let they know that the math doesnt add up

First it was genocide of the American Indians, then slavery, now child abuse an separation of hispanic families. Another sad day in our history.

Yet despite these obstacles Trump’s re-election is vital to the nation’s well being.

Some of the reasons why Trump has a shot at this re-election.

Don’t come here illegally. Also get rid of the Flores agreement so families can be kept together

Fakenews think people are fools. Even in Africa, it's known that the kids didn't come with their parents but adults that want to use them enter the US.

Miles Taylor literally said this was an intentional act and not a side effect of their policies.

When JoeBiden is elected President this November 3rd, those 545 kids will be reunited with their parents who realDonaldTrump wanted dead like Hitler did to the Jews. Enough TrumpCrimeFamilyForPrison
