  Something tells me this will not be on many news stations tonight.
context: The department pledged to continue the work until all separated families that can be found have the opportunity to reunite with their children. In 30 years from now we will be seeing documentaries about children who suffered permanent psychological damage at the hands of Trumps administration. People will be shocked to learn that the U.S. government focible took these peoples children and intentionally separated them to be cruel. >
  
  The people who supported it will pretend they never knew anything about it and act shocked and disgusted. >
  
  They already are claiming this did not happen or Obama did it or some other nonsense. Let me clear: Trump instituted a policy to forcibly separate children (including infants) from their legal asylum-seekng parents at the border. He did this to be cruel and scare people from coming. His minions then forgot to keep records of who the kids were. >
  
  I'd only argue with "forgot." They intentionally didn't keep records so as to make it as difficult as possible to reunite these families. The cruelty was the point. In fact, they outright declared that they were doing this to try to dissuade people from coming to America. "Try to seek asylum in America and we'll separate you from your kids who you'll never see again!" >
  
  "The laws are the laws" = dead giveaway for a fascist.  The law is there to serve the people.  If it's not serving them, it should be changed. >
  
  What really gives away the game is politicians supporting and pushing through laws that do not have majority public support - anti-marijuana and abortion come to mind. Also the use of propaganda to try to affect levels of support for certain things. >
  
  A piece of legislation is almost always guaranteed to fail if it polls extremely popular with Americans on all sides. It's really sad... >
  
  Yep, like “80% of Americans support this” and they’re uh… “oh but some discredited propaganda bullshit”. Really gives away who they are truly working for. >
  
  No, they'll have their "experts" testify that they're correct.  Then you find out the "expert" talking about MJ legalization is a LEO and the "expert" talking about abortion is a religious leader. >
  
  The people who did this belong on trail for crimes against humanity at the Hague.
  Actual consequences?  Fuckin' crickets as usual. >
  
  Reminder that under Bush the US granted itself permission to invade The Hague If an American citizen should ever be tried there. >
  
  We should send Bush to be tried there. >
  
  Trump and his henchmen should be charged for these crimes.  Of all of Trump's crimes, I think the concentration camps for immigrants and separating immigrants from their children were among the worst.  We have to punish them or this will happen again next time they have the presidency. >
  
  America doesn't punish Republican crimes.

  It starts at least with the Watergate. GWB never answered to war crimes or to lying to start a war. And Trump pardon the only person charged in the Valery Plane affair. >
  
  Didn't Nixon interfere with the peace process in Vietnam, extending the war so his opponent wouldn't get a win right before the election? >
  
  Yep. >

  This program of separating parents from their children without documentation is going to be remembered in the same way we talk about the Syphilis Study at Tuskegee. Except that was the 1930s.
  One of these days some of those kids are going to take their pound of flesh out of the United States either legally or violently, and they'll have right on their side. >
  
  nah, the fascists will have rewritten history in the US by then.  Our kids will never learn about any of it unless we move. >
  
  President Ron Desantis III will remove it from the national curriculum. >
  
  Probably in a governor position he would still have that power >
  
  Never forget this was a crime against humanity. Conservatives supported it. Even your so called “moderate conservative friends”
  If it had been your kid they wouldn’t give a fuck.
  In 20 years people will call it a stain on our nation. But the sociopaths who enabled it are here right now. >
  
  The sociopaths who enabled it are in a very good position to seize absolute control of our country, too. >
  
  Don’t forget that it’s the trump supporters that empowered the sociopaths. >
  
  It boggles my mind how there isn't a bigger deal made of this. They stole kids from their parents. Any time it pops into my head, I'm infuriated. In a just world, Trump and his administration would be harshly punished. >
  
  Seriously. It is crime against HUMANITY >
  
  DOJ should throw kidnapping charges onto the pile of Trump crimes. >
  
  Kidnapped. That's called kidnapping. >
  
  Abduction, human trafficking, genocide.
  Take your pick. >
  
  This needs to be made into a drama doc, like the recent Jeffrey Dahmer series. I guarantee it would make a compelling story, and if done right, it would reach even strong trump supporters just by virtue of it's entertainment value.  
  This whole debacle was one of the cruelest things the US has done in decades, and it was done with Glee by a mentally unstable maniac and his supporters. The sooner we see it through the lens of history and regret, the better >
  
  We better hurry before the republicans ban all history. >
  
  This is only happening because trump never had a plan to reunite the families.
  For those in the back. He ripped apart families with NO INTENTION OF THEM EVER BEING REUNITED. >
  
  It's not even that. In order to create a situation like this, they had to have the intent to prevent the reuniting of families. >
  
  It pains me to think how great this nation could be if the government didnt have to spend time and resources fixing the things republican admins did >
  
  It's such an insane cycle. Conservatives fuck shit up, Dems finally get back in and spend the entire time fixing shit, conservatives run on "look, they didn't make anything better!", get back in to fuck shit up. Rinse and repeat. >
  
  Except Dems (if they actually focus on it) are usually only able to fix 70ish% of the budgetary and humanitarian issues that were cause by the previous administration. Then when they lose reelection we slip further backwards. >
  
  What do you mean if? >
  
  If they focus on repairing damage instead of squabbling with each other (which happens a lot). >
  
  As a Mexican immigrant I really appreciate this >
  
  I just wish we had received the same support nationwide like BLM did. >
  
  Outraged Republicans demand to know why they were not sold to traffickers as they planned. >
  
  Think of all that could have been accomplished in the same time with the same effort if we didn't need them to focus on this. Every Democratic administration is hobbled by needing to undo the evils of the Republicans before them. And it doesn't go the other way because it only takes a second to wreck something, but it takes time to do things right. >
  
  Contrarily to what the aryicle stars, they were not crossing illegaly. They came as asylum seekers, which is legal. Many (all?) of them arrived at official points of entry. These are not people who were arrested crossing the river in the middle of the night (not that it would justify taking their kids in any way). >
  
  Of course the Republican subs are silent on this
  Fuck trump >
  
  giving them all citizenship and all of their families is the least we could do for what we've done to those kids >
  
  This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 69%. (I'm a bot)
  
  
  WASHINGTON - A Biden administration task force designed to reunite children separated from their families during President Trump's presidency has reconnected nearly 700 children with their families, officials said Thursday.
  President Joe Biden issued an executive order on his first day in office to reunite families that were split up under the Trump administration's widely condemned practice of forcibly separating parents and children at the U.S.-Mexico border to discourage illegal immigration.
  ADVERTISEMENT. The Trump administration separated thousands of migrant parents from their children as it moved to criminally prosecute people for illegally crossing the southwestern border.

  They’ll still be traumatized for the rest of their lives. Drug addiction, depression, suicides will plague these children. If there were any justice, the architects of this policy should be charged with crimes against humanity. >
  
  Typical go to of Christian nationalists is to steal children. >
  
  I guess the conservatives are ok as long it isn't their child or children. >
  
  I want to remind everyone here that Trump's ICE not only separated countless children from their parents, they then "LOST" them.  Trafficked.  They trafficked them.  But they called them "lost".  Then, in an absolutely astounding act of evil and affirmation of cruelty, they released the numbers to the public: 1488 lost children.
  Yes.  That's right.  1488, the same number literal nazis hold sacred.
  The depth of evil and abuse and violence the right has descended to should be SO MUCH more alarming to more people.  In case you think the assertion that the children were trafficked is alarmist please remember when they caught ICE transporting children without paperwork in the dead of night or keeping children in hotels without due process then sending them back to mexico with no transition process so they were essentially homeless. >
  
  Wow. That is incredibly evil. >
  
  The GOP are the Nazis come again.  Time is a flat circle and most of the circle is fascism >
  
  Nearly 75 percent is better than I expected, and they're still working.  One small cause for optimism. >
  
  I wouldn't call it a small cause. This is pretty massive, actually following through with fixing this disgusting miscarriage of justice. I remember reading about this stuff happening and thinking that it would have to be a priority for a new administration. Glad it's being handled. >
  
  I remember reading this and thinking ‘holy fucking shit’, and my view on USA has not been the same since.
  The fact Trump still got 70+ million votes after mandating/ordering this policy is insane. >
  
  Trump voters tend to be low information. If they even heard about this, they heard someone on Fox/Newsmax/twitter defending it or saying it was fantastic while distorting the truth about it. >
  
  I’d like to think they were ignorant, but somehow it all adds up. I can’t let it go. >
  
  Not enough, but it’s a start. >
  
  Crimes against humanity. >
  
  Jesus Christ Trump was a disaster, we're just now returning the kids to their parents though?!? The damage we caused will never go away. >
  
  Over 2000 were returned during the Trump administration so these are part of the harder to find parents.
