@cnn @msnbc and print outlets are doing amazing work on this story. Here's some numbers to be looking out for/demanding in days ahead. 1/
1. The 2000 kids snatched from families is our baseline. If the "deterrent" effect that the WH is using to justify this program is working, we should be at peak now or soon. Is that number going down week by week? Numbers at border were up in May.
2. What is the average and median wait for these kids for some sort of family unification. 0-1 weeks; 2-4 weeks; 4-12 weeks; etc? We know there is no process in place now. Will there be? 3/
3. How many children have been reunified since the program started? In other words, is the 2000 number all kids or the result of more detentions minus reunifications. 4/
4. These numbers are important. I don't deny the immorality of what is going on but for both an accounting and for historical reckoning, important to keep track. 5/5
