Sooo... accompanied minors are being physically removed from the care of their families. Tended to by agency and logged as unaccompanied.
Some stats on family units and unaccompanied "alien" children detained through 2016.

Testimony
Before the Permanent Subcommittee
on Investigations, Committee on
Homeland Security and Governmental
Affairs, U.S. Senate
gao.gov/assets/700/691…
"Also, according to ORR data, DHS
referred 40,810 unaccompanied children to ORR in fiscal year 2017,4 and
in the first 6 months of fiscal year 2018, DHS apprehended nearly 22,000
unaccompanied children."
" 6 U.S.C. § 279(g)(2). Children traveling
with related adults other than a parent or legal guardian—such as a grandparent or
sibling—are still deemed unaccompanied."
"Trafficking
Victims Protection Reauthorization Act, unaccompanied children in the
custody of any federal department or agency, including DHS, must be
transferred to ORR within 72 hours after determining that they are
unaccompanied children, except in exceptional circumstances."
interesting ... number of family units apprehended going down.. yet unaccompanied minors is going up ? But a couple of tweets ago there was testimony about the mistreatment and how they plan to improve ???
If you missed the HHS statement confirming the missing children

👇🤬 (second bullet point, really?)
"A parent who is ordered removed from the U.S. may request that his or her minor child accompany them. It should be noted that in the past many parents have elected to be removed without their children"
How about the 3rd bullet point?
Really? do you give them access to phones? and no service on SAT or SUN?
ICE has posted information in all of its facilities advising detained parents who are trying to locate, and/or communicate with, a child in the custody of HHS to call the 👇
Detention Reporting and Information Line for assistance, which is staffed by live operators Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 8 PM.

Presidential Proclamation Addressing Mass Migration Through the Southern Border of the United States

The United States expects the arrival at the border between the United States and Mexico (southern border) of a substantial number of aliens primarily from Central America who appear to have no lawful basis for admission into our country.
They are traveling in large, organized groups through Mexico and reportedly intend to enter the United States unlawfully or without proper documentation and to seek asylum, despite the fact that, based on past experience,

Grassley, Tillis, Cruz Op-ed: Fixing Flores Agreement Only Solution to Immigrant Family Separation and Detention

Like millions across our country, we too were horrified at the sight of thousands of children being separated from their parents. As parents ourselves, we can only imagine the pain and anguish these families faced. But, as U.S. Senators — and more importantly,
as Americans — we also understand that our immigration system must also enforce our laws.

While this problem has persisted across the last five administrations, and there is legitimate criticism which can be directed towards this administration’s handling of this matter,

1. Once you see the strings on the marionettes you can never watch the pantomime the same way you did before you noticed them.
2. DATELINE - May 2011 – President Obama travels to the Rio Grande sector of the border to push for his immigration platform (ie. Amnesty). He proclaims the border is safe and secure and famously attacks his opposition for wanting an “alligator moat”.
3. November 2012 – Election year campaign(s). Using wedge issues like “War on Women”, and “Immigration / Amnesty”, candidate Obama promises to push congress for “amnesty”, under the guise of “Comprehensive Immigration Reform”, if elected.

President Obama wins reelection.

trump would LIKE you to believe that his concentration camps on the border are policy that existed under Obama and Clinton.

GET INFORMED. TRUMP'S EXCUSES ARE DISGUSTING LIES.

Myth-busting thread ahead:
The catastrophe unfolding at the border is ENTIRELY on TRUMP's shoulders. He has demonized the poor, the uneducated, the desperate, the foreign, the brown, the black. To the point that his supporters are able to defend crimes of humanity against them and say THEY DESERVE IT.
If you can defend this calamity, you have truly lost your ability to reason and your soul. And are that much closer to being like the "good Germans" who looked the other way while their government committed atrocities against "other" people.

Do you remember when Obama said he was going to put up billboards in South America asking people to stop sending unaccompanied children across the U.S. border? I remember.
Obama claimed human traffickers were lying to people about how they could stay in the US forever if they showed up with a child, or their children could stay if sent unaccompanied.
Tens of thousands of unaccompanied alien children were smuggled across the border and ended up in detention centers, producing the photos that were accidentally used by lefties to launch the current political hit against Trump a couple of weeks ago.
