Biden task force prepares to reunite 29 migrant families separated at border under Trump
CNN
The Biden administration is preparing to reunite 29 migrant families who were separated at the US-Mexico border under then-President Donald Trump's controversial "zero tolerance" immigration policy, according to a newly released report.
The highly anticipated report contains few new details on the Trump-era separations known to have occurred between July 2017 and January 2021, many of which have been subject to ongoing litigation. It is the months-long product of a task force of federal agencies set up by President Joe Biden to identify and reunite children torn from their parents at the US southern border under Trump. "For too long, families have been separated under the inhumane policies set in place under the previous Administration," Task Force Executive Director Michelle Brané said in a statement. "In the coming weeks, twenty-nine families who were separated under the previous Administration will be reunified, in addition to the seven families previously reunited in May. We will provide support and services for these families to begin rebuilding their lives."More Related News
