US To Begin Reuniting Migrant Families Separated By Trump Administration

President Biden has prioritized a special task force to reunify the hundreds of families as part of his sweeping rolling back of Trump's hardline policies.

The United States will begin reuniting migrant children with their parents this week after they were separated by the administration of former president Donald Trump, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said Monday. The Family Reunification Task Force has been working day and night to address the prior administration's cruel separation of children from their parents. I'm proud to announce we will begin to reunite the first of those families. https://t.co/zNugQ1aFWfpic.twitter.com/7Z6wMie3wi Mayorkas tweeted that four mothers who had fled "extremely dangerous situations in their home countries" would be reunited with children as young as three years old. "We are pleased that the process of reunifications is beginning this week and that these four mothers will be hugging their children after so many years," he wrote.
