2. The Trump admin has conceded these separations were ILLEGAL. It made an effort to identify and reunite separated children who were in HHS custody as of June 26, 2018.

But there were thousands more who, before that date, were placed with "sponsors"

3. The Trump admin now says that it hasn't been keeping track of the kids placed w/sponsors before last June and trying to find them would TAKE TOO MUCH TIME.

It makes that argument based on the premise it would prove NO NEW RESOURCES for the effort

4. Further, The trump administration says that even if it could find them, reuniting these families would be TRAUMATIC FOR THE CHILDREN.

5. This is a humanitarian atrocity.

It should never have happened but the refusal to even try to fix it is depraved.
