Discussion: 'Or Whatever': Trump Officials' Nonchalance On Family Separations

“Some 500 children were already returned to their parents, but those kids never made it out of Border Protection custody.”

  1. This was asserted by the same administration that 24 hours earlier insisted there was no family separation policy-so has anyone actually verified this assertion?

  2. Senator warrens account of her visit to several ice/cbp facilities stated that the government considered families “reunited” if they were held in the same complex- even if parents and children were in different cages, oh excuse me, different “pods”.

Do the 500 children “reunited” with their parents fall into this category?

It’s good that the AP is continuing to cover the story, but they are still too credulous of the administration’s assertions.
