NEW: Internal DHS watchdog found that the Trump admin. anticipated it would separate 26,000 children if 'zero tolerance' policy of 2018 was allowed to continue, and that the agency knew it lacked the technology to track and reunite children with parents.

Wednesday's report said CBP officials knew ahead of time that it lacked the proper technology to track and reunify children with their parents, but forged ahead with the policy anyway.

"Because of these IT deficiencies, we could not confirm the total number of families DHS separated during the Zero Tolerance period," the report said.The 60-page report said that CBP officials knew about the deficiencies in their data and technology system when they were planning zero tolerance, and still estimated they would separate 26,000 children without a clear plan to track and reunify them with their parents.

DHS eventually added features to its system that would allow officers to record the separation and reunification of family members, as well as the time the child spent in custody, but it was not until August of 2018, after the policy had ended, the report said. The poor tracking not only led to the potential for separated children to get lost in the system, it also led to chaotic reunification efforts as officers struggled through a lengthy process to determine family relationships. In one case in July 2018,in a parking lot outside an ICE facility in Texas where their parents were being held because there was not a clear process to match them with their parents.

"Under a normal operational cadence, we would have tweaked or adjusted DHS data systems, trained our officers, prepared our detention providers. But not of these steps were taken," said Andrew Lorenzen Straight, former ICE deputy assistant director for custody management who now works at the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service as the director for children and family services.

This is a high crime in my book!

...And 75% of the “children” are between the ages of 24 and 35 years old. 🤣🇺🇸

So....what were the plans for these children? Why is no one concerned about their fate?

IntlCrimCourt UNHumanRights hrw amnesty ICRC How many babies & children are missing, unaccounted for? Imagine how they are being treated? Deliberately separated with no intention to ever reunite them with their families. Justice denied in the USA.

Castro4Congress 😳

I would really like to know why Trump is getting away with all the corrupt,evil things he is doing?The immigrant situation,the Putin deal(Trump being his puppet). His loyalty to Putin and not the theU.S.&its people.He wants a dictatorship.Impeach save this country!Heis anevil man

They are monsters.

Organized EVIL brought to you by the white supremacist and degenerate Stephen Miller and his patron Trump. Mass camps with kids in cages just because they have the 'wrong' skin color from the same president calling nonwhite countries shitholes. Welcome to fascism.

26,000 kids separated from their parents. Let that soak in for a minute. Now imagine that it’s happening in America! If that is ok with you, you are part of the problem.

Nice choice on the photo. Use a photo of women and children to tug at the heart strings of fools.

Everyone knew that. This is a huge stain on this country. For those who perpetrated it, as far as I am concerned they are kidnappers putting thousands of children at-risk for anything you can imagine. They belong in jail. They knew what they were doing.

Boooo hoooo. Give us welfare, educate our children and give them free healthcare! Hell no, go home 🇺🇸

It’s called no empathy. Those children will deal w this trauma for the rest of their lives. I guess that 3 yr old should had known better.

.... But did it regardless

Unforgivable.

26,000 future terrorists.

Child separation is kidnapping.

So damn sad.. I hate this SHIT

Obama did the same thing

Was this document a regular report initiated by the Obama administration?

Part of the trafficking scheme

He’s way behind Obama

Fact: 2014 ACLU SUED OBAMA admin because of CAGING, RAPING, and REMOVING Children from PARENTS FACT: MSNBC ran a story on this in 2014. 2017 MSNBC USED THE SAME PHOTOS and CLAIMED they were from Trump Admin. FACT KNOWS this but STILL LIES to ALL AMERICANS

The fascist cruelty IS THE POINT. FireStephenMiller MAGAts are all about the cruelty as long as it isn't targeted at them.

Watchdog found that if you don’t enter the US illegally you won’t be separated from your children

Funny how this news organization didn't give a shit about separating kids from their parents when Obama was president... its almost as if you're part of some elite establishment that pushes certain agendas when they are convenient
