@merrionstreet @DSGJustEqual (1) Traveller and Roma Inclusion Strategy: What is the implementation framework, why is its budget so low, and why is there a lack of participation between these groups, and with Govt?
New report from HHS watchdog group on #separatedchildren in US govt custody has this stunning takeaway: "thousands" of kids may have been separated at the border *before* administration began tracking. In other words:the 2,737 # administration provided could be massive UNDERcount
The court order forcing the administration to reunite separated kids came down June 26, 2018. Before that, the agency responsible for the care/custody of migrant kids (ORR) saw a 'steep increase' in the # of separated kids coming into their shelters.
The administration initially said (when they had to count) that 2,654 kids had been separated. They revised that figure *UP* twice over the next few months, as they got their arms around new information for specific cases.
