A year ago, the Trump administration chaotically unveiled its family separation policy. After two months of public outcry, Trump signed an order to end separation. Now, he and some of his closest advisors talk of bringing it back in a new form.
Efforts to deter those migrants have split administration officials.for family reunification efforts at the department of Health and Human Services, which cares for unaccompanied minors, flatly rejected any suggestion of bringing back zero tolerance.
Officials at the border take migrant children away from any relative who is not a parent, but they don’t keep track of those separations. They maintain that those don’t count as family separations, lawmakers say.The practice could be separating many more children, as many groups arriving at the border include not just children and parents, but also older siblings, aunts and uncles and grandparents, often looking to reunite with relatives already in the United States.
As part of a longstanding practice, officials also split parents from children in cases where they can assert the parent poses a danger. Previously, that action was relatively rare. Now that rationale is being cited when a parent has been caught crossing the border before, even though they have no criminal record or history of violent behavior, according to lawmakers.
